The Day The Lights Turned on For Me
The day the lights turned on for me, as a writer was an amazing day. Before that time I had enjoyed writing poetry and special little things for my family and friends, but I had never considered myself one of "those people." You know the ones I'm referring to. Someone who had something to say, that might interest more than their mother or a few close friends.

"There’s a recurring motif of weather and sea that the author uses like punctuation, lightning that snaps tension, dawns that bring fragile hope, and it works: Wigginton’s prose sometimes flares into lyrical images that offset the razor-edge dealing o"

"Jake Ryan is a breath of fresh air in the campaign chaos, an almost pastoral counterpoint to the marble-and-microphone world Catherine inhabits. His scenes on the beach and small moments of careless kindness illuminate what Catherine is missing.

“Bringing her eyes down again, Catherine found herself gawking at Jake’s perfectly formed, muscular chest and stomach. She felt her cheeks flush when she he noticed that his towel was still parted, showing off a very lean, muscular leg.”

“No one else can close the door that God has opened for you,” she quietly said under her breath. That was something that Grandma Alice had said to her many times before her death.
“I miss you, Alice,” she whispered, “and wish you were here with me now.”

“Crickey, love, what happened here? Are you hurt?” he asked, lifting her to her feet, the surfboard leash still wrapped around her foot.
Her eyes worked their way up his torso, along the plush green towel hugging his midsection. Catherine couldn’t help staring at his well-formed abs and chest before making her way up to his concerned eyes.
“Obviously I fell,” Catherine said. “I think I got a splinter.”
“Let me see,” Jake insisted, taking her hand into his. “It’s small. I can take care of that in a snap.”
Staring up into his deep blue eyes, Catherine could feel herself drowning in the depths of them, unconsciously resting her other hand upon his dampened chest to steady herself.”

“Chase looked like a drowning man without a life preserver, and by the look in his eyes, he was going under for the third time.
“I knew you would be like the waters of the South Pacific Ocean.”
“I beg your pardon?”
“I liken people to different bodies of water,” he quickly explained.
“You what?”
“Each ocean has a different personality,” he said to clarify. “The Pacific Ocean is warmer and inviting, but the color is muddied in places. The Arctic Ocean is cold and very uninviting, one might even say that it is not very appealing, but it’s full of life. Then there is the South Pacific Ocean, warm, inviting, and crystal clear. It has this purity to it. Why, the coloring of the water is some of the brightest blue I’ve ever seen in my entire life. There are even places that you can see thirty meters down.”
