Soft as the wind blows
Stay close to me heart of love
Stay close to me heart of love
Wind of love blows close to me
Stay soft as the heart…..

Reflections on Writing - Don’t Fear Change
From the time you write the first word to the time your book is submitted to be published; your creation is going to change. There is always a first draft, and that first draft never makes it to publication.
Reflections on Writing - Enjoy
It is my hope that you are writing out of passion and for enjoyment. Your passion for your work, for your characters and for your story will come through and be picked up by the reader. And there must be enjoyment in the endeavor.
