T N Traynor Author Bio
Famous for my scrumptious apricot flap-jacks and my mouth-watering risotto, with a non-existent waistband and graying hair, I am a grandmother extraordinaire! Well not really, but you’ve got to have a dream to have a dream come true. So, I’m a good cook and a chubby Nana who delights in storytelling.
I grew up with the belief that I was stupid. Not able to read until I was fairly old, I lived with a spiritual ‘dunce’ hat on for the largest part of my life. At the age of forty, I went back to college to learn accounting. This was a new beginning for me, where I finally stopped calling myself stupid. After college, I started a job as an accounts clerk and worked my way up to Finance Manager. I stayed with that company for twelve years and have just left it to start a new career as an author.
Writing my first book pretty much felt like a miracle to me, that readers are enjoying it is an even bigger miracle. All I can say to you would-be-authors and dreamers out there, success is rarely an accident. Dream, plan, focus, work hard, and most importantly keep a positive attitude, oh and please subscribe to my blog With a Flourish and a Polish if you’re planning on writing a book for lots of helpful tip bits.
