According to legend, he fell in love with Momma over homemade spaghetti. She … Continue reading The Writer and Her Papa

Sometimes I….
Sometimes I write bad poetry and sometimes I write stories that don't make sense. Sometimes I just write and write for hours in my head.

Not A Real Family (April Page 18 )
He's not your real father. So don't expect him to care. She's not your real kid so don't expect her to love you. Step-kids aren't really kids.

Years … Continue reading Not A Real Family (April Page 18 )

Dusk and Summer kept me prisoner for … Continue reading Book Review: Dusk and Summer

Some of my friends are posting daily on Facebook what they are most grateful for this year. Every day this month, they have posted things they are grateful for and each time I have read one of their posts a smile comes across my face.
