Ever since I was little, I can remember
being captivated by stories. My favorites were The Very Hungry
Caterpillar by Eric Carle and the “Little Monsters”
series by Mercer Meyer. My love of tall tales went so far as to get
me in trouble more than once. If I had a boring day at school, it
wasn't uncommon for me to conjure a story to make it more
interesting. One call to the principal from my mother and strict
punishment was all it took to remedy that situation.
As I transitioned into young adulthood,
I found myself entranced by the world of fantasy. Demons, dragons,
wizards, and werewolves. I couldn't get enough. I devoured any piece
of literature I could get my hands on, especially if it veered far
off the beaten path. I loved anything that brought the paranormal to
life. It wasn't long before I started creating my own worlds full of
wonderfully strange characters bursting with stories to tell. My love
of storytelling continues.
Although I have responsibilities as an
adult, I often find time to slip into other worlds, even if only for
brief periods. Some call it 'escapism', but when I'm happily drowning
myself in a story, I feel like I belong. I satisfy my cravings
through books, movies, and television, all of which engage me
equally. I love to laugh, cry, and meander along whatever route the
author has chosen to take me.
This site is an extension of my love of
stories and my ambition to create my own path. I hope you'll join me.
