Why I Write
When I write, I draw on my experiences as a woman with a painful past, a rapturous wife and mother, a world traveler, and a spiritualist. For me, writing is an art form. Like an artist, the work becomes more than I imagined it would be. When I set out to write a story with a particular idea or character in mind, words I cannot claim as my own flow from a magical and mysterious place through me and onto paper. The work takes on a life of its own; it is living art. The process fascinates me, satiates me, and makes my life more meaningful.

Literary Foray
Literary Foray, a new anthology of literary fiction short stories, is now available for pre-order. I'm extra excited about this book. Not only is one of my short stories featured, but there are stories and poems by my real life sister and several of my close writer/blogger friends! Beneath this book's hauntingly beautiful coverart, you'll find work by Jessica Bell , Matthew Rush (a.k.a. Matthew MacNish), Mara ♣ McBain , Adriana Noir , Noelle ~ TY Anon! (my sister ) and me, alongside the work of 24 other authors and poets.
The book is in editing post-production, but you can pre-order at Amazon.com . And, it's available at a discounted price from the publisher's online store. Details at Pill Hill Press.com .
Tomorrow, I will be Carolyn Abiad's guest at her blog Serendipity . My post will be the first in a series about international romance and how it affects a writer's work. As many of you know, I was a Peace Corps Volunteer, and I met my husband while we were both working in Africa. I hope you join me at Serendipity tomorrow for my discussion and photos!
What about you? Any news you'd like to share with me? I have confetti....
