Bio
I've always loved to write but had never been published. Writing fiction is a bit new for me and an enjoyable challenge. I've always been a wanderer and lover of life.

WHEN SHE WAS BAD, SHE WAS HORRID
MY NEW FAMILY In February of 1960, at the age of two, this brown-eyed, little girl with curly brown hair, was adopted into a new family. The family included a mom, dad, big brother age five and a twelve-year-old springer spaniel. My new home in the Midwest was a cape cod style, three-bedroom house surrounded by a white picket fence. The perfect American family, right? In a perfect world, it would seem so, but this was not the case in my world.

JOURNEY TO PEACE
Hiding in the corner of the dark room, Eden clutched her mother’s heart-shaped locket tightly to her chest. Her heart was rattling so loudly she could barely hear the voices in the hall as she tried desperately to quiet her breathing. She prayed over and over for them to pass by without entering the abandoned apartment she’d found refuge in. The place was dingy, and the rooms were small, but it offered solace to this weary traveler. She’d wait until it felt safer to move about before she risked taking a badly needed shower. The horrible day and long bus ride had taken a toll on Eden and she badly needed to bathe and get some real sleep before making her next move. Tomorrow she would find her sister and together they would face the madness this world had become.
