I love to read books and poetry, along with writing them. What can be more fun than putting on paper stories you develop in your mind?
Although I've written stories for years, it's just recently that I decided to try self-publishing.
My first novel 'Always' was published on Oct 2012. It is a fantasy/romance story that takes place in England.
In July 2013 I published a book of poetry Stepping Stones. In Dec 2013 I published my second novel, The Lone Hero and my first children's rhyme book. Continuing to publish, in 2015 I published the first of the Dimidium series, also a fantasy/romance story about a race that's half human and half vampire.

For the Love of Words

Today I received 'obfuscate'. According to Word Genius, it means to darken, to obscure, to confuse. Then it gave this explanation:
