I’ve been a writer since I was seven years old when I conceived my very first short fiction piece, a suspenseful tale of terror and triumph about a puppy stuck at the top of a very tall sliding board because he’s afraid to slide down. As I recall this plotline came to me as I was sitting at the top of a very tall sliding board with a long line of other second graders behind me yelling, “Are you gonna slide or what?” As an artist, I’ve always responded well to pressure.

Everybody fails, even--especially--those who eventually succeed.(less)

But for whatever reason, my publisher wasn't interested. I still really love that story world; I'd love to go back to it someday. I've considered writing the sequels and publishing them through Little Red Hen Romance, my own micro-press. Think I should? (less)

“All right.” She glanced back at her reflection. “It is a nice dress, isn’t it?”

“It is an exquisite dress,” Mom said. “And you will be the happiest, most beautiful bride the world has ever known.” She took Stella’s hands and touched her forehead to Stella’s. “And that will be our revenge.”
