and his messed up sense of humor!
My Work
I’ve always enjoyed writing, but until recently I never put much effort into it. Fear of judgement and doubt of my ability hindered me from doing what I always wanted to do; write and be a published Author.
Now I write nearly every day. I laugh, grin, and sometimes cry with my characters as I put them through impossible scenarios.
I have been told that writing a book is a lot like driving around town honking your horn with your naked butt hanging out the window. Sometimes it feels just like that.
My Journey
The Power series was my first real effort to complete a novel, and it took over a year to complete the first book. I’m not saying it’s perfect, there are sections I would have done differently now that I look back, but I have chosen to leave them as is, except for grammar, for the history of my progress as a writer.
The Shades of Darkness series is my first attempt to create a world and the rules for that world, from scratch. So far it’s a fun fast read with magic, action, and even love.
Soul Assassin is an attempt to create a story where the reader gets to determine the outcome. I thought that an electronic interactive story would be more appealing than the old printed ones where you have to “go to page 112” to see your choice. So far the story has twelve endings, but I intend for some of those endings to be just the beginning. Soul Assassin will expand in the future.
Villainy is a work in progress. I really had a hard time writing from the perspective of evil and I’m still not sure I’ve got it right. Time will tell.
Spring Into Winter started as a dream I woke up from and is another work in progress. I was fascinated that the dream I had was so full of detail that I woke and began writing the details down. The story has nothing to do with the seasons, it’s more about how people are intertwined and grow emotionally when exposed to each other. The title is in flux, at least in my mind, and may end up as something else when it goes to publishing.
