I've written poetry, personal essays and book reviews, but my first love is fiction in all its forms, from flash to novels...
...and so, I write. Even though it’s often gut-wrenching and mind-boggling. Even though it’s lonely and isolating. Even though I’d make more money panhandling. Maybe my future holds prestigious literary awards or amazing commercial fame. Maybe not. But when a character introduces herself to me or a phrase so stunning shimmies from my pen, I know I am doing what I’m meant to do. And for that, I am grateful.
The list is too long but here's a handful - Stephen King, Jodi Picoult, Harlan Coben, Wally Lamb
