: About Me

I love to write... there's a big shocker, huh? I find, and I think most everyone would agree with me, that writing is a wonderful outlet. I happen to have a very vivid imagination so I prefer to write fiction. I write fictional romance novels. Some historical, some contemperary. There are always bits in any of my writing inspired by my own life. I am divorced and I have a beautiful daughter. There is ALWAYS something to write about. I write in my personal journal about my grief. My beloved parents have passed and I miss them greatly. Although I may scream and get a little sick on this rollercoaster that we call life, I always try to remember that the hard part will pass and if I can hang in there... then I may actually have a thrill or two. To sum it up, I write because I love to. It makes me feel good. What other reason could be better?

Mumbling to herself, she pushed herself off the ground. Instantly her legs buckled and she had to grab hold of a tree for support, the rough bark digging into her numb fingers. She was freezing and standing next to the of side of a road. Th...
