Writing has consistently been a part of me from the time I was eight. When writing, words pour from my mind onto paper like water from a vessel. Consumption of thoughts rushing through my soul etches themselves so deeply and powerfully, I have no choice but to release them. Stuck in a vortex of imagination, my fingers fly across my keyboard faster than my thoughts. Lost I would be if I could not create the stories that swirl in my mind. So, come, sit and grab a cup of tea. Spend some time in my world as I write, struggle, write and rewrite my novels, chapter books and picture books. Adding writing tips I've come across or ideas that I've found helpful will also splash across the pages. I'll mention the success of one of my many author friends when they have good news to share. You'll never know what goodies you may find. Thanks for stopping by and visiting my world.

My Quote That Sums Me Up

"I found two Passions I can't Live without ...
Reading became a Fantasy World I could Explore...
Writing became the Fantasy World I could Create."

Favorite Quote

Words - so innocent and powerless as they are, as standing in a dictionary, how potent for good and evil they become in the hands of one who knows how to combine them. - Nathaniel Hawthorne

Mr. Asimov was one of the most prolific writers of all time having written and/or edited more than five hundred books.

He is the receipiant of many awards including the Westinghouse Science Writing Award, Nebula Award for Best Novel, Hugo Award for Best Novel, Locus Award for Best Science Fiction Novel, Hugo Award for Best Novelette and Nebula Award for Best Novelette.
