Hi, my name is Louise M. Gouge, and I'm the author of seven published novels, with more coming in the near future. My Web site is www.Louisemgouge.com. Please come by for a visit to read an inspirational short story, "The Burden," and to see my list of published works and the awards they've received. My Web site designer is creating a blog of sorts on my home page where I'll talk about my writing and about finding new careers after fifty. That should be up and running soon. Also, you can read some lovely reviews of my books at Christianbook.com and amazon.com. Come get acquainted with my stories. I think you'll enjoy them!
