about me

I have been writing for a very long time, but have always been afraid of criticism. I enjoy writing short stories and stories that interconnect. I work as a project manager during the day and also have two children. When I cannot sit and write, I manage to do it in my head.

I am also a television, movie and pop culture junkie and went to graduate school for film/directing.

My grammar skills are a bit less than great, which is mildly pathetic since I spent my undergraduate years as a literature major.

Sell is my first attempt at a novel and I am also working on a screenplay and several short stories. My writing (especially in my short stories) tends to be dark. I don't do happy endings because I haven't seen many. They are like the tooth fairy and Santa Claus, lovely to believe in, but best left to children. This makes me sound like a pessimist, but in spite of the darkness I write about I still hope for the elusive happy ending.

I would like to thank the few that have read Sell and am especially appreciative to those that give technical/editorial corrections. They will only make me a better writer and I will never take offense to them.

If you get the chance please indulge me with a quick glance. I also love to read other peoples work.

There are some grammar issues, but I think we all have a bit of that. So some polishing would do wonders, but don't polish it so much that it loses it's charm, its unique voice. I am shelving this because it held my interest and had a unique/teen/innocent POV. Nicole view book

What a beautiful modern fairty tale. This is great. I love the line, "their heads with neither filled with brains, nor their hearts with honesty." This reminds me of the classic fairy tale, but with a modern slant. I am keeping this on my shelf and will read more later. I also love the premise and e... view book
