Okay, dearest readers! This is regarding the paperback of Dolor and Shadow! My editor JUST got back to me and we have the first (hopefully final) corrections! So, I am currently uploading the Proof to Createspace (the Amazon branch that manufactures the paperback) and then I will be ordering the new proof! Wahoo! Within the […]
Masquerade
Masquerade. Painted faces on parade. Masquerade. Hide your face so the world will never find you. – The Phantom of the Opera by Andrew Lloyd Weber I have sung that to myself at least three times a day, every day, for twenty years. And now…I. Am tired. This thing inside of me is very much […]
The Day After
I can’t stop writing today. I do this. It comes in waves. I have a bad day, I break and suddenly see more connections. They next day, I review my new perspective and have to relearn and re-examine everything all over again. This is how I am Unbreaking Me 🙂 During my break down yesterday, […]
Hyperarousal
I am sitting here now thinking back over it all. They say awareness is the first step and now I see it. I can see it all so clearly that I wonder why I couldn’t see it before. Perspective. Everything really is all about changing perspective. I decided a long time ago that I couldn’t […]
Anger
“He saw death for the first time in his life,” I heard my husband say. I shook my head and I gasped. “What?” I felt the anger rise. Anger. Now that was an emotion I never allowed. “That day that he was all alone and he thought his brother might die…he finally saw death. Since […]
To the lonely and the scared
Gotta write. I see Gene Kelly standing in the middle of a mock up stage crying out, “Gotta Dance!” I’m at my computer, trying to work on the blog tour, but my mind wanders and pulls me away until it hurts me. I must write. I must. Gotta write. … Hello you. That’s right, I’m […]
The Adventures of Elisareth and Anbethturil
At 4,929 words (and growing) I will be breaking this up into 700 word chapters and posting this under my blog within the first week in May…or perhaps today (1 May 2015) if I’m looking for something to do. I have only broken up the first two chapters and have more work to do on […]
Austramonath
I adore linguistics and truly wallow in the beauty of historical linguistics and etymology. But no other word gave me more issues than Astramonath. Angela, why didn’t you just call it “Easter?” This is where I pour you a cup of hot chocolate, tea, or coffee and we sit back on the leather couch together. […]
Bane: Chapter 1
Her song found me on the road and pulled at me like something out of a dream like when you know you have to find the end to a tunnel. So you look, but you’re not sure what it is you’re looking for. I knew what I had to find, the moment I saw from […]
Broken: Prologue

There is strong language, drug reference and is not suitable for some audiences. Please proceed with caution. I opened the red door of my cottage and peered through the crack into the early morning.
