- About Me:
- I enjoy reading. I write because there is too much noise in my head. I have one daughter and a husband that supports my crazy belief that I can write - even though he has never read anything I have written (I think he is the crazy one!). I enjoy nature and hike around middle TN often, love animals (I currently have seven), love my family, and am uninteresting which is the way I like my life considering the start of it.
- Favorite Books:
- any of the classics, I think they are beautiful and insightful in a way that modern literature is becoming over processed and typical.
- Favorite Bookstores on land or cyberspace
- Forgotten Books is great! And any book store that will have me I find fantastic; however, if you get a chance to visit Franklin, TN there is a collective book store there (down town) that has that smell that all book lovers adore.

Chapter 1 of Fenrir
Chapter One
Alvidiheim looked over at Sveltir's flickering form, centering on her celestial appearance so different from his ghastly eerie dark one. “I require just a little item of no consequence to you,” she rubbed her hand against his dark ashen skin leaving behind a trail of luminescents.
“I have dealt with Vanir before, you think me foolish because I live under the rocks?” Alvidiheim smirked, “Especially since your master is the wily one.”
“Oh, he is on his stone,” dismissing his last se… Continue

A lonely journey
I spend some days writing and some days not... and I find that it is a lonely journey in many aspects. To sit and create something out of nothing but what is in your head.. and to doubt that you are not wasting your time.. how do others get through it? How do others knows the story line is worth the telling? How to fit the story together where it is natural and doesnt seemed forced, when to force what isnt coming naturally when you are so used to it coming easily. I am struggling with that now..… Continue

Paper War
I've been waging a war on paper the last few days. So far, paper is winning. The more I clean up, the more of it I find. The problem is, for much of it, I feel an obligation to do a thorough examination and decide whether or not it's worth keeping.The mailperson is my enemy. He, sometimes she, keeps leaving more paper in my mail box. I'm not talking about my Christmas cards, which I cherish, but all the other stuff dropped off for me to sort out. At times it's torture to come home and see the new pile the DH has set on the kitchen table.
I've discovered tons of magazines over a year old. They were trying to hide in a magazine holder on the side of the couch, but not doing a good job of it, since they were spilling over. Of course, I decided to check the headings on the covers to see if some of the information inside might prove valuable. Wouldn't you know it, I was right. Many articles seemed to good to give up.
I've already mentioned here before about how I also have a compulsion to print out emails that seem important to me. The result is I have lots of important pieces of paper. When there's an abundance, which is the most important? And, where's the one I really need? It is a quandary.
What about you? Is paper your enemy? Are you also waging a war against it? Who is winning?

Early Endorsements for “A Circle of Souls”
Linda Fairstein, NYT Bestselling Author: "A fascinating debut - this novel takes the reader to the darkest places in the human soul, from a writer with the authenticity to lead us there. A stunning thriller and an important read."
Judge Judy Sheindlin, star of the Judge Judy Show: "The seminal work of this fine author kept me glued to my chair until the adventure was over and the mystery solved. A great read!"
Book Synopsis:
The sleepy town of Newbury, Connecticut, is shocked when a little girl is found brutally murdered. The town s top detective, perplexed by a complete lack of leads, calls in FBI agent Leia Bines, an expert in cases involving children.
Meanwhile, Dr. Peter Gram, a psychiatrist at Newbury s hospital, searches desperately for the cause of seven-year-old Naya Hastings devastating nightmares. Afraid that she might hurt herself in the midst of a torturous episode, Naya s parents have turned to the bright young doctor as their only hope.
The situations confronting Leia and Peter converge when Naya begins drawing chilling images of murder after being bombarded by the disturbing images in her dreams. Amazingly, her sketches are the only clues to the crime that has panicked Newbury residents. Against her better judgment, Leia explores the clues in Naya s crude drawings, only to set off an alarming chain of events.
In this stunning psychological thriller, innocence gives way to evil, and trust lies forgotten in a web of deceit, fear, and murder.
