About Me
Why do I write? I have no choice: it's all I know. My Mother says when I was 2 years old, I used to sob "I wish I could read!" And before I was in Kindergarten, before I could spell anything other than my name, I wrote my first short story by asking Mom how to spell nearly every word. There was something in me, from the very beginning of life, that recognized the beauty and power of words. That passion, acknowledged and encouraged so early, has not only remained with me, but has grown exponentially over the years.
While I am pleased to be able to share my work with others, my writing is primarily cathartic. In sharing it, however, I find I am deeply grateful if something in me, as expressed through my words, manages to touch something in another. Finding a common thread, weaving a stronger bond through words is an amazingly beautiful, fulfilling experience.
