I've wanted to be a full-time writer since I was 10 years old. While I can't do it full-time right now, that is what I am working towards.
I love to escape in my stories and I love to see what my characters are going to do next. Most of my writing feels like dictation as I watch the story unfold in my imagination and it just comes to me easily as if they were actually talking to me.(less)

Interesting plot but jumps around.

I have to admit I do occasionally like reading a good mystery, and, If Looks Could Kill, was pretty good. It wrapped up in a little bow with lots of bad villains. My main issue was the writing style which had me lost
