Good News–and a request!
Yay!! Just to let you know, I just finished the ending of CHRYSALIS. I think you’ll like the ending. The story ended up being 10 chapters–so it’s definitely a short story rather than a novel or a novella. But that was on purpose. Since I’m putting the whole story up on my blog, it couldn’t […]

CHRYSALIS–CHAPTER 7
Like an old Polaroid picture, the darkness in Chryssie’s mind slowly turned from black to gray and then back to reality. Instead of fully opening her eyes, she squinted not wanting to alert them that she was awake. The man who’d hit her was leaning on the driver’s seat. “I had to do that. It […]

CHRYSALIS–CHAPTER 5
I hope you’re enjoying the story so far. Poor Chryssie–things just keep getting worse. CHRYSALIS–CHAPTER 5 Chryssie jerked as the pencil dropped out of her hand.

EXPERIMENT #2–FLASH FICTION
As I mentioned before, I’m doing some experimenting with my blog. I want my blog to be about you–the readers. So, I asked myself what would people who love to read want in a blog? The answer is STORIES–lots of stories. Sure, now and then they might want to hear my opinion about a book […]

CHRYSALIS–CHAPTER 3
So, here we are again. I know you can’t see me, but I’m smiling…. When I start writing a story, I never know exactly what’s going to happen or if the story will have enough momentum to make it the end. This one does! I’m almost regretting my decision to post it for free–almost. Don’t […]

SEPTEMBER 11-Another Day That Will Live In Infamy!
For me images of September 11,2001—the plane hitting the second tower—firefighters rushing in the buildings—panicked people jumping from the buildings—the bright orange flames along with the smoke and rubble—the people running through the streets— still evoke a pit in my stomach and tears to fight back.
