⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"Well written and clever, with a main character who is quirky but easy to relate to, even when she's perfectly imperfect. The story weaves complex elements very subtly, which lends depth to the story and holds the reader's interest right to the very last page. Perhaps a sequel?"
"I finished the book, and to be honest, I wanted so bad to flip to the last couple of chapters but stopped myself. LOL! It was an absolutely wonderful story. I loved it and shed a few tears in the process."
Thank you for taking a moment from your day to visit my website. From a very young child, I have loved reading; it has always been my escape when reality was becoming a bit too…well, real. I'm not only a writer and storyteller but also a voracious reader. I started writing at a young age, filling my diary not with a chronicle of my daily life but with short stories inspired by things that had frightened me. Like all people, I have experienced fear and have my anxieties; however, I'm not afraid of much. I once shared with a friend that I don't deal well with fear.
She responded, "You don't have enough experience with it to know how to deal with it," she was absolutely correct.
My philosophy on overcoming fear has always been to face it straight on and mock it. One way I mock fear is to turn it into a fictional tale. I'll grab the reality of something frightening and transform it into a story where I control the outcome. In some stories, the dread is simply a twisted tale, but it can result in dark humor. I like to consider it one of my coping skills. My short stories are always a bit twisted, very unlike my longer works, which are almost exclusively about finding where you belong in this crazy world. Because of the romantic element, they're typically categorized as contemporary romance but are really more about finding your place; we all have a place. There will always be a little twist in those as well, but not like my tiny tales of terror. Not all of my short stories are truly terrifying, but they are meant to mess with your mind.
