About the author

I have been writing for as long as I can remember. It started on a snowy day near Christmas when I was three or four. I don't recall the impetus, but my older sister, whom I idolized and copied as much as possible, started writing a story. Not to be outdone, I started writing a story too. I've been writing ever since.

I am proud to have written the Rune Series books ("Rune Sword", "Rune Master", "Rune Hunter", and "Rune King's Daughter"), and I intend to continue my first series, Clans, which began with the novel "Nightchild". I'm currently working on an Arthurian retelling, "Arthur Rex".

Reminiscent of Plath and Sexton

This is a fantastic collection. Confessional Poetry is truly a passage to the soul. Several of the pieces made me cry outright, but my favorite would be Liar's Dance which like many of the other selections, is downright brilliant. Well done!
