Synopsis
Each of us has a story to tell. Words free us from all we hold inside, whether they are happy memories or sad. This collection of poems are words from the heart. Whose heart you ask? Well, that I will never tell. I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I did writing them.

The Paranormal Hour

Early this morning I was a guest in The Paranormal Hour with Willow Cross and Tracee Ford.  It was a very interesting discussion about the paranormal and the things that go bump in the night. Not all of them are scary. Really. But when you start thinking that they are, then "they" will latch on to that fear and exploit that feeling.

If you want to listen to the radio show, here's the link:

Rain or Shine

Yesterday, Manchester had such glorious weather. It was freezing but the sun was out. Today, it's freezing, raining, and windy. Despite that, I still love the rain. I always have and always will. I just don't like floods.

Thank you

It's just been over a year since I became a published author with Love in Her Dreams before I forged full steam ahead with the Cynn Cruor Bloodline series and Lakam. I am indebted to everyone who gave all my stories a chance - who read them, who continue to read them, and who plan to read them. I am indebted to all the fantastic authors I have come to know, love and respect. I will never stop saying this: I learn from all of you because you inspire me. I am indebted, too, to those who took the time to review my books, whether the ratings were high or low. I am indebted to the publishing houses who placed a whole lot of faith in what I could do, in what I could deliver. I am indebted to the bloggers and the radio talk show hosts who gave me a chance to promote my books, who gave everyone an idea of how I sounded like. 
Here's to looking forward to many more years of weaving tales for all of you.
