Purveyor of Fine Words
Writer, Blogger, Dreamer
I write fiction and non-fiction for adults and children. I am both serious and fantastical.
As a little girl I would read newspaper articles out loud to my family and friends, incorporating them into the stories. By the time I was in junior high, I was creating plots and characters of my own. And I have been a prolific writer ever since, writing everything from poetry to educational videos.
By the way, Shepherd.Com is a new site for Authors and Readers
Here is a great site that is like "Walking throught the aisles of a book shop." AND my book is on the shelf! Check this out:

My New Book is Out!
The Advice Columnist published by Saga PublicationsYou’re your own best friend. Nobody knows you better than you. Talk to yourself like you would talk to someone you love. These are all cliches advice columnist Joannie Simmons shied away from—until a ghost of her younger self confronts her via email.
