Me?
What's to say? Let's start with my favorite quotes (Yea, cynicism is almost a religious thing with me)
"The power of accurate observation is commonly called cynicism by those who have not got it."
George Bernard Shaw (1856 - 1950)
"Inside every cynical person, there is a disappointed idealist." George Carlin (May 12, 1937 – June 22, 2008)
I've been writing ever since I can remember. I love it. More, I love being Indie.
I was born and bred in Chicago (many places in the Cassandra's Cops Series actually exist! I used to live in John's building!). I currently live in Southern California with my husband, Marty, my ex husband Don (don't go there, it isn't even remotely what you're thinking, ya perv!) and three great kids!
Being Indie, I can (and do) publish what I want, when I want. Perfect examples of this are found in Michael and the issues addressed in many of my books and stories. I've been told I make people think. Praise don't get higher than that!

So, I’ll be honest with you. I’m not sure where to even start with this one. Shane’s life wasn’t easy. It wasn’t even happy. It just was. He swore he was cursed from the moment of his birth, destined to be forever hated and looked down upon by everyone. But it makes you wonder if he could have changed his own fate, since he absolutely orchestrated it, with a little help from his friends…
Passionate, emotionally heart-wrenching, and 110% honest is the only way I can truly describe this horrifying story of an abused boy who never got the chance to make it to manhood. It is a story that needs to not only be told, but read and shared. It’s a life lesson in many ways. You never know why that woman was such a cow at the bank, nor do you know just why that quiet, shy kid really is the way he is. It reminds us to look deep into ourselves and remember that not one of us is free of flaws and, because of that, we shouldn’t judge others so harshly… without first knowing their story.
Despite being a difficult read due to the emotional edge, it is definitely more than worth the time and money spent.

Continuing her Cassandra's Cops series, Shane is a remarkable tale that strays from the original CC1's storyline.
