Quirks

Frequently my sneezes are so loud I frighten folks. (I'm serious!)

I cannot eat spicy hot foods (it burns!)

I hate peanut butter but love dry roasted unsalted peanuts (yes, that's odd)

Work on Wattpad

My work may reflect current or past experiences, a mix of truth and fiction, or entirely fictional scenarios. I write from a variety of age perspectives.

"Little Guy" is based on a little boy who is dear to my heart and visits me from time to time. Work that refers to him is often based on our experiences, but not necessarily one hundred percent accurate to the original experience. (You knew that, right?)

Writing

I started posting poems on Wattpad to get a feel for the environment and see if folks would like my work.

I'm considering expanding my Wattpad posts into short stories and longer works.

To my readers

Thank you for taking time to read my work and provide feedback. Your feedback helps me make directional decisions regarding my work (what works and what does not).
