My name is Mary Hazel Upton. I have been writing stories since I was six years old. My favorite kinds of fiction are Gothic romance, horror, and science fiction. I write a little of everything, but mostly in those categories. I hope someone besides myself will enjoy reading my stories and nonfiction, but I write it for myself. I am also typing up for publication my mother's very old diaries and poetry that she left to me, along with her other possessions. Eventually I want to publish my Daddy's old letters and my grandmother's very old diaries so that they will not be forgotten, as well as mine and my husband, Gain's, old diaries that I kept for many years. Some of the entries in those diaries were dictated to me by him, and so preserved. Mostly he contributed to the diaries when we were on vacation. I also have old photos taken by my parents and Gain and myself to use to illustrate the books. All of the people mentioned except me are now gone home to be with the angels.
