My Blog is about:
1. Writing – Because it is so much a part of my life.
2. Work – because most of us have to do it and it is so much a part of our lives.
3. Creativity – because it should be part of everyone’s life.
4. Short stories – I hope you like
5. Book reviews, Televsion and a bit on Love (I am after all a romantic).
Hopefully, you will get to know me through my writing and my website, but here is a little more about me.
I always saw writing as a hobby until people began to give me money for it, then it became a side hustle and one day it will be a full time gig. I have written newsletters, resumes, articles, web copy and collateral pieces – I was given money to write. I stress the money because only after I got paid did I realize it was more than a hobby; only then could I feel comfortable calling myself a writer, after all I live in Los Angeles and this town is full of wanna-be writers, actors and directors.
I decided to tackle a novel because I have an over active imagination. I decided to write, what I call – supernatural adventures with touches of romance – because, again I have an overactive imagination.
I admire Dean Koontz and John Grisham.
I am flawed, so are my characters. I want to be mature and forgiving. I want to forgive those who have caused me hurt in my personal and corporate life, I want to turn the other cheek (and not because I’m in a fight and avoiding someone’s swing), but I can’t.
Maybe I am not mature enough or grown up enough, or maybe I am not built that way – but I am trying. I am as flawed as the characters I write about and the situations I write about are not ideal – but life isn’t always ideal either. I believe in happy endings.
I think that is enough for now, my work should speak for itself.
I hope you learn from, laugh along with and enjoy my site. I hope you buy my books, enjoy them and review them. If you want to drop me a line sometime, my email is below.
