I'm a paranormal romance/thriller novelist. I was born and raised in the foothills of Appalachia and currently reside in the Chicago metropolitan area with my daughter. I'm is eclectic, having diverse interests that show in my writing. I have a degree in Sociology in which my studies focused on crime/deviant behavior for undergrad and race/gender relations in post-grad. Additionally, I'm an Instructional Designer for a food distribution company.

Aside from writing, I love to read, listen to music, watch good TV/movies, crochet and above all else, spend time with family and friends.

In my personal life, I put the B in LGBTQ+, am ethically non-monogamous, and consider myself a Bipolar Warrior who blogs on mental health issues.

Election Anxiety

[image error]

I have been thinking about what I should post since the debacle of the U.S. election started this past Tuesday. I knew that I would be anxious, but didn’t realize just how much my anxiety would increase. I kept my head down with work, not watching the news at all. However, my daughter was consistently on social media and would occasionally come to my home office and give me updates.

Harper Lee
“Why doesn’t their flesh creep? How can they devoutly believe everything they hear in church and then say the things they do and listen to the things they hear without throwing up? I thought I was a Christian but I’m not. I’m something else and I don’t know what.”
Harper Lee, Go Set a Watchman

Harper Lee
“You are fascinated with yourself. You will say anything that occurs to you, but what I can’t understand are the things that do occur to you. I should like to take your head apart, put a fact in it, and watch it go its way through the runnels of your brain until it comes out of your mouth.”
Harper Lee, Go Set a Watchman

Harper Lee
“A man can condemn his enemies, but it’s wiser to know them.”
Harper Lee, Go Set a Watchman

Harper Lee
“Good grief, baby, people don’t agree with the Klan, but they certainly don’t try to prevent them from puttin’ on sheets and making fools of themselves in public.”
Harper Lee, Go Set a Watchman

Harper Lee
“But the white supremacists fear reason, because they know cold reason beats them. Prejudice, a dirty word, and faith, a clean one, have something in common: they both begin where reason ends.”
Harper Lee, Go Set a Watchman
