On 7 March 2015 at 12:22 I wrote this article. Ten minutes later, I tried to write a second article to answer the question: who am I? When that failed, I began writing Broken. This article ignited the idea for the 96,000 word macabre memoir that I would write in just two weeks. Who Am […]
The Author speaks on “Broken”
Driven by a desperate need to define myself, I began writing Broken on 7 March 2015 hoping to find an answer to one question: Who am I? What emerged was a 90,000 word macabre memoir that explores the psyche of a thirty-five-year old woman who survived a number of traumatic events back to back. The […]
Blogging
Hello again, dear reader! I just had some thoughts I wanted to share. I love webdesign. I have no training or expertise whatsoever in code and webdesign, but since October I have delighted in piddling around with my website then watching the results. It’s quite fascinating to me, really. I love watching to see what […]
My Philosophy Blog
My dear reader! I have it! Philosophy! I know philosophy! A friend of mine uses his bio to explain his philosophy. I loved the idea and wanted to do something similar, but I realized that a single article couldn’t begin to cover my philosophy because it is a constant exploration with me! It is something […]

I heard back from another agent who requested the outline and the first 50 pages of the manuscript. Now, I know I need an outline and, when I built my book package back in August, I included an outline. But a little nagging voice kept digging at me on whether or not what I had […]
The Princess Bride Factor
I am often asked what genre Tales of the Drui is. This question must be one of the hardest I have ever had to answer regarding my story. When I wrote Tales of the Drui, every scene, every word, was selected with the 35-year-old male fantasy reader in mind. This was my demographic. Unfortunately, the […]
Goodreads post
So…this is the Goodreads post I wrote for my little sister. Once upon a time, my mother realized she wasn’t happy with me. And so Nikki arrived. Nikki didn’t say much at first. She screamed a lot and wore large, bulbous pants held together with pins. Many years passed before she finally decided to […]
“So, Fellow Internet Surfer…”
“So, fellow internet surfer,” I say, peering through the 0100’s of cyberspace. “We meet again.” I notice the subtle twitch at the corner of your mouth and I know my charm is working. Confidently, I smirk back. “You just couldn’t stay away now could you? No,” I cackle and reach for my warm milk and […]
