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.

Reading became a Fantasy World I could Explore...
Writing became the Fantasy World I could Create."

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

Hello!

Hi Everyone! I haven't been here in awhile so I wanted to drop in and say hello. I've been busy doing a lot of writing and reading. Just finished a nonfiction picture book today and have been researching publishing houses on where to send it. Very time consuming. I have a list though and will start my cover letters probably tomorrow. I've been reading a YA series by Melissa De La Cruz, Blue Bloods. Enjoying it very much. I like the story line, the mystery, the tension between the characters and of course the thrill of the silver blood vampires. What seems off to me are the characters demeanor. At times, they act much older than seventeen-year-old teenagers do and I feel as if I'm reading an adult novel but then their characters bounce back to their teenage selves. Other than that, I'm truly enjoying it. I've also been reading a trilogy by Robin Bridges, The Katerina Trilogy which takes place in the year 1889 in Russia. Ms. Bridges voice is authentic to the time and her story is beautifully written. This is a great paranormal historical fantasy story that I recommend for anyone who loves this genre.
