I am a mother of four, grandmother of five, one dog, three cats and throw in a few fish. When I am not writing I am... spending time with my family; figure skating; riding my bike (the peddling kind); being a "crazy camera lady" taking pictures of my beloved Gettysburg Battlefields; struggling with my alphabet issues of TBI, OCD, PTSD and ADD! Though very often frustrated by my disabilities, I strive everyday to better myself and the world around me.
I will never forget the day I took this shot. As you can see from the picture, it was pouring. I held in my hands, while standing under a tree, a $2,000 movie camcorder that took still photos. Like other photographers, I did not want to ruin my camera. I stood safely under that tree, … More NOT ON MY WATCH
One night at the ice rink, a father was desperate for me to teach his little girl how to ice skate. Of course, I happily agreed to. But something was standing in my way…HIM! As I tried to work with her, he held on tight to the back of her jacket. At one point, to … More “LET GO!”
I am almost relieved that we had not started Production yet on “This Fair and Blighted Land Part I.” I have gone back and forth from it being Historical/Fiction (which it is) to a Suspense/Thriller which is as well. But it is also Supernatural/Romance and Drama too. Geez! What was I thinking? But all of … More THE STORY OF SUMMER RAY
What does it take to be a champion? First we have to define it. In sports, it is defined as, “a person who has defeated or surpassed all rivals in a competition, especially in sports.” But the word “champion” has other definitions which are defined as “a person who fights or argues for a cause … More THE CHAMPIONS
I was having car trouble and by the way the engine sounded and the way the car ran, you would have thought it was going to take some major repair work. Which would have also been, needless to say, expensive! Yet when the mechanic plugged the computer into the board, it showed the need to … More NO MORE MISFIRES
First let me say, Happy New Year. Today is January 1, 2017! Last year was not the best year for me. But I survived and I am moving passed it. The show must go on, or in our case, the shows must go on. By adding the last two volumes, there will be anywhere from … More AN ORIGINAL BRAND
Sometimes the unexpected things, when they appear, suddenly makes everything understandable. Timing is everything, or God’s timing is perfect. Slowly, our funding has started to come in. Which I must say, I have been discouraged about. But God knows the perfect timing for everything. “To everything there is a season”…! Even after I wrote the first … More PERFECT TIMING
They say a picture paints a 1,000 words. When I saw this one, I got chills and not because it is winter. It reminds me of the following picture: When I get discouraged because we have waited so long for the funding, and we are still waiting, the pictures with the sunrays over us give … More HE WHO HOLDS THE SUN; HOLDS ME
As we come to the end of 2016, I would like to take this time to reflect on the passing of another year. The year started out in January with high hopes, of a great and productive new beginning. When we cross over into a brand new year, it also gives us a sense of … More SET UP
I recently read an interview in which famous, Novelist John Grisham stated, “It’s very, very difficult to get a movie made…today!” Although I agree with what Mr. Grisham said, I must add, “Though very, very difficult…it is not impossible.” Hollywood might have their own element of what they want to produce, but, so does God. I … More IN HIS TIME
