: About Me

I am a unique spirit. Life is complex. Yet it is so fascinating in the dark moments as well as the brighter ones.

Since I was a child, writing enthralled me. I would (and still do!) sit for hours with a pen and lined paper and write about anything and everything. I have always found writing to be my own paintbrush. I seek to find the perfect words to express emotions. I believe to be a good writer, one must deep dig into their core.

When I was young and naive, I hoped to write what would be considered "the definitive novel" and set out to do it. Yet, life happens and reality and time often sets the tone.

Throughout years, I have always had at least one element of writing in my life whether professionally or just for the heck of it. Both elements are valuable, though to paint pictures with words has no equal.

As I grow older, my insights become deeper and richer with time. And while we can all look back and sigh for youth lost; growing up, growing older and life's experiences give us the canvas for our true passion of words.

I stood and watched the darkness erupt to a glare of sunshine that burned my exhausted eyes as I looked into the dawn of a new day. The shore was empty as the chill of winter poured itself in gusty windblown sand and shells that dotted the horizon on a timeless beach that had seen its better day far so long ago. I looked up at the aged boardwalk that seemed so lonely without the rush of people and without them. The sea g...
