: About Me

I have been writing for what feels like forever. As a youth, I wrote a story about a monster that was afraid of the boy in his closet. It may be that I'll regret sharing this, but as long as I can remember I have had characters running around in my mind. They have their own personalities, some being psychotic killers, and others innocent, yet admirably brave (would-be victims)survivors. They all live there, in perfect harmony,in the communities I've created for them, within the bizarre universe in my mind.
Ha, and no one has yet taken me away and had me committed! (knock on wood)
Now, suddenly, I feel incredibly at home...........

My passion is ...

Theater (spelled like Theatre)

I know too much about ...

Trivial things stick in my brain, but otherwise my brain is like a funnel, everything eventually runs all the way through it.

My parents always told me ...

If you keep doing that, your face will freeze that way and you'll look like that forever......

My childhood ambition ...

Oh, to be a fire fighter-ballerina-moviestar-rockstar-writer with my own perfume lable

My favorite memory ...

I am not sure I could choose such a thing, maybe it was the day I was married, or the day I first became a mother, or becoming a mother the second time........

Why I write ...

I have to, like I have to breathe, or eat chocolate.

What I am reading/watching/listening to ...

I love the classics! Sir Walter Scott, Charles Dickens and Jane Austen are some of my favorites.

My first job ...

I was a courtesy clerk, p/c term for bagger of groceries!

My best moment ...

The moment my husband proposed to me, was awesome!

My inspiration ...

Is in everything and everyone around me.

Finding Poe Every suburban neighborhood has one. It's the house, weathered gray, clinging to the last chips of paint, where the little old lady with hundreds of cats lives. Every time you need to walk past it, your heart begins to pound, you hold your breath and run. The sun always sets quicker behind the graying house and darkness seems to spread out from it, like fingers of a spider's web. The house is haunted. The sister's who live across the street from 1313 Long-view circle, never questioned it once. McKayla and Regan live in the same cul-de-sac and sometimes late at night they look o...
