Welcome to my site. Its my place to showcase my favorite
pasttime - writing.

Each step along the road as been full of trials, tribulations, and
learning curves that I've enjoyed. Along with the tears, the
smiles, the laughter - there has been heartbreak, and misery, self
-doubt and just plain old lack of self confidence.

This year however, I've set a new goal for myself. I've looked
over my five year plan, thought it through, worried and lost
sleep - and have discovered within myself the confidence to
follow through.

I do hope you, my fans and readers, will walk with me down
this pathway as I go from the smaller independent presses that I
love and have enjoyed working with, to the larger, more hard to
grasp 'Big Time Publishers'.

My goal by the endo of 2010 is to have submitted to one of the
following publishers: Haper Collins, Kensington, or Avon.
Grand dreams? Only one way to find out.
