My story
I have worked in healthcare most of my adult life. While I dabbled in writing for years, it wasn’t until 2016 I finally self-published my first book, The Crystal Crux – Betrayal (1st Edition) Since then I have completed all five books in The Crystal Crux Series and I have published several smaller stories as well.
I also started the Shades of Myth series which are dramatized retellings of Greek mythologies in novella form.
I have several other projects in the works so stay tuned.
My approach
My goal is to be a storyteller.
I don’t have a background in language arts. My writing won’t always be technically proficient, and I lack the resources to have them professionally edited but I have stories to tell, and hopefully when I am done telling them, these will become stories readers enjoy reading.
At the present, I am quite satisfied
self-publishing my books.
I don’t have a budget for advertising, so a lot of my sales depend on word of mouth and the occasional book fair.
If you take the time to read my stories, please be sure to let me know and leave a review wherever you purchased the book. Tell your friends. Tell your family. Give books as gifts.
Spread the joy!
"Not everyone is meant to be a hero,
and no hero is a hero to everyone.
Every hero has enemies."
- Excerpt from Shimmer
He was getting lost, sailing into her gaze. And then he realized she was smiling and approving of him. In unison they said, “Beautiful”.
