A writer, a poet and all around book lover. I write for the same reason that I read, because it fills my life with joy and meaning. Books and a love of words has given me a career and once a trip abroad.
A dear friend suggested that I turn my love of books into this blog. So, here we are. As a full time teacher, you can expect me to do my homework and post at least once a week.

After months of wrestling with Rae, I now know enough to go forward with the story and stop tinkering with it. She is finally her own …
Killing Elsa
Elsa was caught in a nightmare. Everywhere she went they knew her. Called her by name, knew her favorite color and foods, and always they tried to hug her. She hated hugs. Hated all of the attention. College in England was just what she needed. She needed to go some place where her fame would …
Dreams

Eight things
Months ago, I was tagged to write one of those things you didn't know about me posts. I delayed, procrastinated and then finally decided to turn it into a blog. And then I delayed, procrastinated and repeated until today. Sorry, Lisa A. that it took me so long to do this. And thank you for …
Why Support Patreon?
Last month my royalties for my book, Blood Child, were less than $5.00. That's right. I made less than a fiver for a book that took me nearly two years to produce, not including the time it took to write. And you know what I am overjoyed... seriously. I am happy about it. My writing …
