Gail Sobotkin (Happyboomernurse)

I'm a retired nurse who loves to write short stories, travel and medical articles. My story, "The Boy I Loved & Lost" is included in "Chicken Soup for the Soul: Find Your Inner Strength."

I'm proud that my story, "Footsteps" was published in the Kindle E-book, "Mysterious & Miraculous Book II." I, along with Angelia Phillips and Maria Jordan, helped compile and edit the book. 70% of profits will go to the non-profit, Support Homeless Veterans.

I am also proud that my short story, "Catalyst" was published in "Mysterious & Miraculous Book I." edited by Angelia Phillips and Alastar Packer. 70% of book one's earnings go to support k9s For Wounded Warriors Program/Rescue. The "Mysterious & Miraculous" book series can be purchased at Amazon.com.
