Oh, and the doctor will see you now. The lastest installment of Reprisalis available now from Trestle Press.

I shyd away from life at an earl age,

tucked away in a box

hidden far into the back of my 

childhood closet

now wanting so badly

to come forward and just holler

"I am here!", alive and not dead

like my beloved father

I miss him....so much

So watch me as I smile

hold my head up a little higher

I am that daughter of a great politician today,

but also a woman with a dynamic force of strength and hope

to…

Today I am a newer person than I was yesterday.

We really do only have that single moment that

we are actually in.

Let go of past hurts and upsets,

for they will merely hold one back from

enjoying the present.

your sleeping with wolfs my dear,

Writing style comprises four characteristics:

1.   Formality

3.   Objectivity, and

The purpose you are trying to accomplish, the readers’ needs, your relationship with the reader, and the type of document affect the style in which you…

On November 23rd I released my first novel When the Lotus Blooms, the story of two child brides in Colonial India.

Thanks to Rosalie Lario, I did my very first guest blog post this week.  And one of the discussions generated as a result centred around my transition from Scriptwriter to Novelist - two very different animals in many ways, but at the same time quite complimentary. 

Of course, as writers in whichever field we choose, we all have our own voices, styles and experiences of the writing industry and its expectations.  But I thought it might be interesting to expand upon the…

We dance this dance of life and death, to a end, to a future.

We live for tomorrow, we live for today, we live for yesterday, to be better than it was,is,will be.

We keep dancing, never stopping, in fear of forgetting how to dance or to lose tempo.

Some dance harder, some dance easier. Some dance barefoot others of fancy dress.

some dance with others to help keep step, to not faulter.

Dance in the halls, in the…

Stones rip our feet, we are still running. Bloody of dancing the dance of the forsaken. we dance for those who can not.

time is abundet, we shall waste it however we choose, with or without you.

i see the light peeking in that mind.

little do we know of those careless small things we take for granted.

little do we live in those moments where we should live the most.

Live life like tomorrow is the end. 

over one day we all shall be, let us…

Branches in the woods know no master, They grow perfectly imperfect.

The sun rays bounce from leaf to leaf giving light, life and warmth.

Does the sun know what beautiful things it produces? Does it know love?

Happyly burning forever? Love of the sun burns and burns Eternally to our lifetimes;

The water it flows and brings seeds of life.

Abundet of life and large differences far and between.

does it know its depths? Its mystery?

Is it…

Moonless night filled with a sky of bright stars wonderous and beautful,

Another sleepless night dreaming of a forever that shall never come.

Sweating awake to pain, an unlenting ache in the nogging.

thoughts just need to stop, swarming like bees to defend they violate,

the steal and rape any sanity left, leaving a hallow shell, complete.

false visions, wasted ability, felt a choke of something less than what it was.

drown it with water, wash it all…

Search for that bed of clover, that bed of roses,

Seach for that silverlining, grasp it, never let go.

Lets find hope in tomorrow, lets shine lights of our inner hearts.

Lets let our souls sing into the heavens and across the morning sky.

Find true happiness, and the wonders of the world.

Find love in all its colors.

but most of all, find yourself

The blank pages of my diary, 

That I haven't touched since you left me, 

The closed blinds in my home, 

See no light or day, 

Dust gathers on my stereo, 

Cause I can't bare to hear the radio, 

The dark passenger is back, that seething hate.

It attacks, it attacks, my soul.

Take the time to realize look inside and you will find something new

inside yourself or in someone else. 

The masks we wear always seem to tear the more we inspect, the less we regret.

We are climbing the ladder, we are pulling the string

the end however may have no ending.

we aren't dead yet, rejoice, we still have a voice.

Only a fool feels the need to be who they want to be, a fool.

acting selfishly selfless, such a wish, being such a b****.

Only does a fool believe that your body flowed with milk and honey.

but it doesn't mean it wasn't true but was cut off, an addict arose.

Only does a fool believe in everlasting.

an everlasting with you.

Only a fool believes in forever.

Perception of time is nothing, for a fool.

Only a fool believes in…
