Who are You?
How do you see yourself? Do you see yourself as a writer, artist, worker, manager, 9 to 5-er, housewife? How you perceive yourself has a great influence in your daily success. For the longest time I didn’t call myself an author or even a writer. I was just a wife and mom who liked to…

You Do Not Have to Suffer
Life is a struggle. Will you have pain? Yes, that is true. However, there is so much more to life. We, humans, share joy as well as pain. There are happiness and sadness that happens. We learn from all of it. I saw a quote that made me shake my head and ask, “What the…

Some People…
The other day I was accused of theft and was attacked by a person I have never met. What happened was this, I purchased a book cover for all the Necromancer’s Song books from cover designers recommended to be by other writers* I trusted.

How to Save Time
There once was a music storyteller named Jim Croce. He sang about saving time in a bottle so that he could spend eternity with his “you”. He told of how there never seems to be enough time to do the things that you want to do once you find them. In this hurry-scurry life, we…

What does surviving mean to you?
Is it possible for a person to save another who didn’t know they needed saving? We look at all the social media that screams at us with lies about our self-worth.
