About Me


I’ll let you know right off the bat that I’m a study in contrasts. Dark and light, ying and yang… Maybe that’s why I’m indecisive and consistently conflicted. I’m a night person who feels alive at dawn. My interests gravitate toward the dark but my soul sings in the light. I feel guilty if I do and guilty if I don’t. In this tug of war I call life, balance and clarity reign supreme.
I am a writer.
My current WIPs include an erotic romance, a dark urban fantasy, a holiday short and various articles and poems. I’m a blogaholic and post erratically to several blogs, with the exception of Dreaming in Digital and my new Texty Ladies blog with author Jane E. Jones. I post to those on a regular basis. At Texty Ladies, we have author and artist interviews, writing exercises, tutorials and much more.
My TBR pile is huge and is filled with books in various genres: paranormal, fantasy, contemporary romance, inspirational, horror, urban fantasy, espionage, mystery and suspense... My husband just laughs when I bring another book home to add to the stack. When will I possibly find time to read all of them?! I can rationalize my purchases by telling myself they are research. I'd love to be able to write in each of those genres and so I’m believing Stephen King when he said, "If you don't have time to read, you don't have the time (or the tools) to write." "Reading is the creative center of a writer's life." Yeah, that's the ticket. That's why those stacks of books are so tall they're falling over each other and onto the floor!

Okay, its time for a change.

I'm so tired of looking at my page and hearing the same music; it's time for a complete overhaul.  Expect something different by next week.  I mean really!  Bor-ing!
