: About Me

My Fiction novel is titled "His Eyes Deceived Her" and the Non-Fiction book "Ultimate Betrayal" (Formerly known as "Days of Tempest" The Liam Magill Story) are both published E-books, which are available on my New Web site, The Brass Ring Cafe'. I also have written two short stories, "A Matter of Atonement" and "Walking the Crooked Mile." A service added to my site is Embrace Your Rainbow Advice. Since my educational background is Law Enforcement and a Victim Advocate Internship with the County Prosecutor's Office, in addition to my education and medical experience working for eight physicians, I decided to add this service. Psychology was a must for me.

When it comes to my writing, I am as analytical of the words I set to paper as I am about the information I receive. I seek perfection; although, if it were left up to me, I'd end up spending too much energy on rewrites. Even so, I'm a writer who uses all the angles and considers all possibilities. I keep my mind open for the new, put in a mix of the old, analyze all the information gathered, follow my inner feelings, then write it. This is because I feel comfortable with the 'gut instinct' then most other things.

I like the information I receive to be as accurate as possible, but in investigating and researching all sides of an issue, I feel better about assimilating data with cause and affect, rather than cause and effect.

I will either charm my audience or infuriate them. It just depends on the outlook of the reader, and where they stand with their own experience. As everyone else, there are various points of view. Mine come from the accumulation of knowledge, a vast amount of experience in several different fields of work and study, and the light I attempt to shed on a subject.

I do not disagree with people for the sake of winning an argument, and most probably never will; although, the information I find that is important to an issue, and if it is missing from the disagreement, I have been known to be notorious for injection until they 'get it.' This is my boldness of a lion.

When I found out that Annie was missin', it was that kind of night, when a dense fog over the river clung to the air. It was like somethin' that could steal a breath. The outside lights weren't visible, from the house next door, and they're always on when it's dark. With the rain bein' warm and the ground still cool, it made the murky cloud the kind that would last till noon, the next day. Jeff Briggs must have known what the weather report would be, for those three ugly nights from hell. It was his plan that got Annie dead; I just know it. But I'll make certain ole' Jeffrey pays the price...
