2. I Love a good fantasy(but do not limit myself) and try to balance it with Non-fic in the esoterica or Psychology fields. I write the stories that pop up in my head without restrictions (though all fiction). Currently working on Paranormal Noir.

3. My indie release Is A Ghost of a Chance

4. I love acknowledging Archetypes (Loosely Jungian base) and breaking stereotypes. As a born Weirdo and Nerd I love to lift weights and box (fist-a-cuffs).

Thank you for this forum. I have watched silently from the shadow for a week now, absorbing all the wondrous info that I should've known about 10 years ago. And will continue to Lurk and Learn (Book title???)
