Welcome!

Thank you for visiting my website.  My journey as a writer has been a long and winding one.  I have spent many years trying to make the difficult leap from "aspiring writer" to "published author" and I have encountered so many false starts, self-doubts, and rejections along the way.  And yet, I continued to plug away with my writing.  I saw no other option.  It's a funny thing about dreams, and their ability to stay alive despite the many obstacles and headwinds they encounter.  It's as if they have a life of their own, inside of us, and our job is to simply keep listening to what they are telling us and where they are nudging us.  So I listened.  And I wrote.  And now, here I am; I have finally arrived on that first plateau - with the publishing of my first book, "Journey of a Lost Soul" - and even though I know that I have many, many more mountains to climb on this writing journey of mine, it feels good to be celebrating this first milestone.  I continue to be ever so grateful for the continued, and seemingly inexhaustible, support that I have received throughout this journey, from my family, my friends, and from other assorted loved ones - none of this would have been possible without all of you!  From the bottom of my heart...thank you!!!
