Where Stories Come Alive and Conversations Thrive

I’d like to tell you a bit about myself and answer your first and foremost burning question of who’s this chick? And second, why should I give her my precious time? Well? My answer is that first of all I am very well read and very well spoken. May I even go so far as to describe myself as an influencer? Of what you may ask? Of many different things, but within this parameter I would say I’m an influencer of literature and doing good deeds.

I began my would-be career young. Starting with creating what I termed ‘paperback books.’ Books made of stapled together notebook paper, each one boasting incredible and amazing titles of stories I wanted to fill the pages with. Endless titles and endless empty story books, much like the ick on the to-do list, starting the storyline.

Fun/funny/embarrassing fact about myself: one of the first novel names I came up with was, Chopper, Sick Balls! Referencing a phrase from Stand By Me when the junkyard dog was chasing them down for trespassing. I had absolutely no idea at that time what that phrase meant but I knew it had to be bad and or embarrassing the way my brother almost peed himself from laughing so hard. I now know what that means😳

Then I moved along into my teenage years. I was a depressed young adult, and a bit of a loner, I had no idea what the feelings I had really meant. It wasn’t talked about then like it is now. So, I whiled away my time at home with a good book, waiting until I was old enough to escape the little town I grew up in. Plus, travel is practically part of my DNA.I was raised the first 3 years of my life in the cab of a semi, in fact a semi truck was the first vehicle I ever drove. I spent a lot of my young life in the sleeper part of that truck with the light on, lost in a book.

In my late teens I became too cool for school and rebelled. One of the things I gave up in order to change my image was reading and writing. It was several more years until I got back into it.

Not to brag but in my many years upon this earth I have completed writing 5 novels. None of them are published, but I loved the process of it. And I’ve been told I can weave quite a story, if I do say so myself. But I also love to read a delicious story. I am incredibly picky though; one wrong sentence and it can be enough for me to put the two cover pages together and cast it into the pile of unfinished books.

My most favorite thing to do is to find a new author to add to my repertoire, and I’d love to be able to share my insights with all of y’all. Please feel free to get involved in the conversation.

Thank you so much! Have a fantastic day!
