About Me

This is the cover of the book that contains my very first published story!
I live in Michigan with my husband of 24 and 1/2 years and our two sons who are 18 and 23. I'm Eastern Cherokee and Choctaw and my husband Brian (aka walknbird in my friends list) is Ojibwe. Our heritage is important to us and we are trying to pass on as much tradition and culture as we can to our children.
I would also like to note that the daosobudasa profile in my friends is a memorial to my younger brother David, who took his own life in September of 2006. Dave would have been 37 this past March 2, two days before my own 42nd birthday. He is sorely missed by many. I mention this here because I am concerned about those who seriously consider taking their own lives. If you need help. Please reach out for it. There ARE people who care out there. I am one of them. In my blog posts you will find a memorial to my brother. There are links to places that help people in that post, but also if you Google suicide prevention you will find tons of help. Those who are left behind after a suicide are the ones who suffer the most. I firmly believe in hug therapy so here is a big big hug for anyone who needs one. *HUGS*
If you are an author, or in the publishing industry somehow, please feel free to send me a message or IM me on yahoo at waterfall_woman. I love books and as a former Co-owner of Dark Eden Press, a book reviewer, and a promotions specialist, I have many skills and resources that could be of use. Writing and beadwork are two other things that I also am currently still pursuing. Additionally, I am going to create book trailers for a very nominal fee and do other odds and ends to keep myself busy. One day I will get to go to RT and/or Book Expo America too!

My Blog

I think Ill make lemonade (or what to do when life hits you between the eyes, repeatedly.)

Life can sometimes blind-side us. That seems to have happened to me a lot lately. Geesh, I don’t want to sound like a victim. I know stuff happens to all of us. (It really is true btw, what "the...

In Memoriam-- David D. Collins March 2, 1971 - September 19, 2006

I have been meaning to write this for two weeks now but the emotions were a bit too raw yet. You see, March the 2nd would have been my brother David's 36th birthday had he lived to see it. On Septembe...
