I get away from my desk and do some physical activity. For me, that is usually riding my handcycle or hitting the gym!

I am currently working on outlining the plot of my next love story, which will also feature a character with a disability. My goal through my writing is to bring disability into the mainstream and change the common perception that having a disability somehow makes an individual unlovable or unable to find romance.

Chance for Rain, which is debuting THIS week, came from both my experiences and those of women with whom I work through my non-profit The Cycle of Hope (www.thecycleofhope.org). Rainey, the main character of this book has sustained a disability, which she believes has made her unloveable. As a person with a disability (I am also a parplegic), it is a common belief that it is harder to find love if you don't fit the "perfect" or "usual" mold. This novel explores her feelings and follows her through the changes of her perceptions of herself, teaching her that one must love oneself before finding love in return.
