Bio
I have loved writing since I was very young. Writing can play as a soft melody or hold the power of a thunderous storm.
I am the author of The Love of Life series on Amazon and enjoy exploring verbal expression in healing and love.

The night is warm and mystical. The beautiful dark sky splays before us rich, dark, and eloquent, presenting a canvas filled with stars sprinkled like the rarest diamonds; uncut and flawless.

The Day My Body Betrayed Me
The crowd was silent. All you could hear was the buzz of anticipation as the bull fighter stood perfectly still. He steadied his red cape and prepared to begin his dance. Slow graceful steps followed as he waited for the bull to proceed in what it wanted to do.
