It has been my dream to be a published author and be to be able to reach out to others. I would like to be able to make a difference. I guess you might say it is my voice. I want to say that we are never too old or too young to make dreams come true if we are willing to work hard and believe. Never give up. I am working and trying with all my heart and soul to do the things I want and need to do. I love to write, paint,sculpt and many other things.
I am a wife, mother, grandmother ( I really like that one) daughter, sister, aunt, neighbor, friend and whatever I have been needed to be. I want to be able to reach out and make a difference. I want each and every person who might get one of my books to have something special that reminds them in their own lives to never give up. Whatever their dreams and wishes are, they can come true.
I think that is part of why I designed my own covers. I want people to be able to hold the book and look at it and it be more than just another novel.
It has been a long journey to reach this point as I hold the books in my hands.
This is only the beginning. I lived through the cancer surgery and am still writing. I still paint and want to live my life and not just be alive. I want to have a purpose and make a difference. I did not give up.

This is a poem about Halloween night, how eerie it feels with the moon shinning bright, casting shadows. The stillness in the pumpkin patch, the cornstalks and scarecrow, but wait, did that scarecrow lurch in the moonlight? Can that really happen?
Another feeling is the chilly mist as it settles where the pumpkins are, and oh, are they shivering, and now are they dancing? And they are glowing in the darkness, I see two greenish eyes. What is going on out here tonight? Could it be Halloween night, or just a fright? Well, you need to read the book to find out!
Halloween is a favorite time of year for children; their imaginations soar about this frightful night, though knowing it’s all pretend. This is what I see in this cute Halloween story. Giving the reader an eerie feeling talking about things related to the season. Then in the end, helping them to realize it is just pretend. And I love the pictures throughout the book. The water color effect seems just right for the setting of the book. Graphics are a huge part in capturing a child’s attention, and a great addition to this story. This would be a fun story for any small child during the Halloween season, one to read, or to just spend time looking, enjoying the wonderful creations of this author and illustrator. I am not sure about the age level being nine to twelve though; it seems to me this story is more for the younger age children maybe six to eight, especially since the pictures play such a big part in the story.
