Welcome to Gail 's Story!

Now available!

My debut memoir has just been released! Click on the button below to read more and learn how to order.

This collection of real-life essays focus on the amazing, funny, heart-wrenching, or absurd situations in life that stay with us—because we learned lessons, or the people we encountered made an indelible impression on us that we remember years later. Maybe we reversed course because of life-altering circumstances that were out of our control. These are the stories that fascinate me and the ones that I think are worth telling.

Most of the essays posted here initially came from my own experiences. I have been a life-long letter-writer, indefatigable e-mailer, photo-taker, and memorabilia-saver. Now, all these elements are coming together as I weave these stories from my life.

In addition, other writers have started to submit their real-life experiences for publication here, an exciting new development. If this is something that interests you, please take a look at my Submit page for submission requirements.

I hope you enjoy what you read here! If you do, please share my posts via email and on your social media sites. If you have any comments, I would welcome feedback in the Comments section at the end of each essay.

Also, if you don’t want to miss the next installment, be sure to sign up on my subscription list!

I’ll meet you in the Comments section,
