"I'm not a very good writer, but I'm an excellent rewriter." ~James Michener

"Words - so innocent and powerless as they are, as standing in a dictionary, how potent for good and evil they become in the hands of one who knows how to combine them." ~Nathaniel Hawthorne

"A critic can only review the book he has read, not the one which the writer wrote." ~Mignon McLaughlin, The Neurotic's Notebook, 1960

"No one means all he says, and yet very few say all they mean, for words are slippery and thought is viscous." ~Henry Brooks Adams, The Education of Henry Adams, 1907

"Gravitation is not responsible for people falling in love." ~Albert Einstein

You may ask 20 questions yet all I'll give is 1 answer...I am a writer, an artist. A person with a passion to put their thoughts on paper, in word, in song.

That is all you need to know about me. I will not bore you with my life story for it will be hidden in my stories.

Those who write--who entertain--do not deserve to be timed so you must be patient with me.

I love many books but I do not love to write about them all.

Sooner or later I might end up trailing off the storyline completely. If this is to happen I may just drop the story for the time being or permanently.

But do not worry. I like to end things with a bang--in an unexpected way.

Writing is not a hobby but a life style.

I get bored with writing others stories so I come up with my own. I don't put them here for fear of them not belonging.
