Is there anything better than escaping into another place and time? Reading is the ultimate time machine, and the ability to go anywhere we want to, simply by allowing ourselves to go. It is the great human superpower!

​I have a mighty love for reading. It all started the time I had chicken pox in first grade. The book was Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by the great Roald Dahl. I was hooked.

​It would be a few years later before I discovered the mystical world of writing, a life changing paper in the seventh grade about my biggest fear, I still have that paper tucked away somewhere. Thank you Miss Marianne John. 

​I didn't grow up in the fifties or sixties, my mom and dad did though, and I have always loved sneaking one of their dusty smelling, black and white yearbooks and crawling into bed to see what that time was like. I still do it to this day when I go home. There is something so . . . magical about the innocence and simplicity of that time. I love it and I can't stop writing about it. 

 I adore falling heart first into an abyss of dreamy infatuation. Whether you are still a young adult, a full fledged grown up or a kid at heart, come inside my mind for awhile won’t you? Let me show you the way that I see love, and hate and pain and beauty and happiness. I hope my husband is reading along. Wink.
