I am a Canadian full-time employee - mother of two - grandmother of four - married to a wonderfully supportive man who writes in her spare time. I am trying to live at least part of my life doing what excites me the most.

I have had an infatuation with pens, paper, and notepads since I was a small child. This love affair is still as strong today as it was when I first learned to write cursive. I can't walk into a stationary store or down an aisle of pens and paper and not get sucked in.

As a young girl, I thoroughly enjoyed the library and card catalogs. I could have gotten lost inside a library for days, and I would have been in heaven - th Books are available on Amazon, Audible, and at my personal shop: https://ko-fi.com/dl_fletcher/shop

I am a Canadian full-time employee - mother of two - grandmother of four - married to a wonderfully supportive man who writes in her spare time. I am trying to live at least part of my life doing what excites me the most.

I have had an infatuation with pens, paper, and notepads since I was a small child. This love affair is still as strong today as it was when I first learned to write cursive. I can't walk into a stationary store or down an aisle of pens and paper and not get sucked in.

As a young girl, I thoroughly enjoyed the library and card catalogs. I could have gotten lost inside a library for days, and I would have been in heaven - though I never admitted that to my friends because that would have been weird. I loved books. I still love books! I love everything about them! I love the smell of them, the cream thin or thick pages. I love the covers - soft or hard. I love the way a story can make you get lost inside of it - the author gives you the canvas but your mind does the painting.

All of it fuelled my dream of holding a copy of a book I wrote someday. As my kids grew older the need got stronger. It was so strong I had to make it a reality. Even if I didn't sell one I needed to write one and figure out how to get it into a physical book. I started writing my first novel in private. I wasn't ready to share my passion with anyone. I was just too shy - too self-conscious. Eventually, I had no choice but to share my writing with close trusted people in order for me to get feedback - my mother being the first. I could trust her to be honest, yet kind.

Armed with my mother's input and eventually the others I was brave enough to share my work with I filled in the gaps making my first novel a much fuller story- and here I am - still shy and self-conscious with three published books! I'm not sure if I am a great writer or if my stories are interesting, but they are mine. I love the characters like they have lived a part of my life. I love the stories like they have been a part of my reality.

Anyway...that's the first mile of my journey. One that I hope will be a thousand miles long….

The Dying Butterfly

If you enjoy post-apocalyptic stories you might enjoy this one. I wrote this in 2016. I wanted to not only write something my husband would read but also put right the things in zombie stories that always ticked me off. Of course, no story can go without some romance.

This story follows the main character Holly, who has her whole life planned out. First, to go to college, and then, marry the l

Quotes by D.L. Fletcher (?)

“Slipping out of his remaining clothing he gracefully crawled in beside me. Body to body he lowered his lips to mine; the warmth of his strong hands on my skin sending goose bumps rippling in the wake of his touch, melting away the little inhibitions I had. With every movement of his hands and every kiss he landed first on my neck, then my shoulder, down to my breasts I grew hungrier.”
― D.L. Fletcher

“Meeting Tony's eyes for the first time since dad turned to me we began our slow walk down the short aisle. I will never forget the way Tony's eyes glistened in the small church, the expression of utter joy on his face - his love for me visible for all to see. Only one that has experienced true love can understand what we felt in that moment as he waited impatiently for me to meet him at the altar, and as I walked, but wanted to run to stand at his side.”

“You never realize how much you will miss someone until they are no longer there. Just like you never realize how easy something is until the thing that makes it simple is removed.”

“With every breath we take, and every decision we make, something is being created for us tomorrow.

Sometimes we have a good idea of what tomorrow will look like because we worked for it. Sometimes when it gets here we regret yesterday's actions or decisions. Most times we don't see the impact of yesterday until today arrives, or until tomorrow has passed.

No matter what, inevitably tomorrow becomes today. So choose your actions carefully, make wise decisions, and pay attention, for tomorrow is being created today.”

“The Earth tries to teach us every day the privilege we have been granted to live on it. It has tried repeatedly to put up back in line with its vicious storms, spewing lava, viruses, and plagues.

Is it by choice that we that we remain ignorant?

Inevitably - pissed off - perhaps with our careless disregard of all it has offered us, and after all the warnings it is willing to put forth, it will one day unleash its wrath and show us all what it is capable of, and just how insignificant we are.

What if it gives us a second chance to thrive again and do it right?

Do we embrace it, taking flight like a beautiful butterfly leaving its cocoon, or do we tangle ourselves into a web once more, and let the spider devour us?”
