I want to thank you for stopping by! I'm a struggling author that loves to write. I hope the readers get some enjoyment from my books. These characters are real to me. I've lived with them for months and I feel like I love them like my friends. Goodness knows they don't say bad things … Continue reading Halloween Hop Visits
I never thought I'd be able to say I have eight books "out there". The characters in my head, and my Muse are smug, but I still feel I'm not reaching my potential.
