about me

NOTE: On 3/29/10 I deleted WORDS THAT KILL from the site. I still hope to have some time to read the works of others. I wish everyone the best with their publishing endeavors.
*****
I've been married to a wonderful man for over seventeen years, worked in the financial services industry for more years than that, and am in the process of raising two beautiful children. Whenever I have a free moment I pursue my other great passion - writing.

So far, I've written two manuscripts - YA: Words That Kill and My Domino Life - and have started a third (adult fiction). While I came close to publishing My Domino Life and received initial interest by literary agents for Words That Kill, my newbieness got in my own way, sending the manuscripts out WAY BEFORE they were ready. Lesson learned. With additional re-writes of my YA work I'm still hopeful that they will someday be perched on a bookshelf, and if that dream isn't realized, well perhaps it will be for my third!!

I enjoy reading the works of others and providing comments that I hope help to improve them. I welcome read swaps as long as the person swapping is willing to offer a critique, even if it is a harsh one.

Hi Liz, Your first paragraph is among the best I've read, on this site or in published books. Sadly, it is all too real. Overall the writing is excellent and I wish you the best of luck in getting your book published. Backed. Andrea WORDS THAT KILL view book

I prefer stories that start with action and yours does precisely that - AND does so in a clean, professional way. The writing is tight and fast-paced, with no unnecessary text to bog the story down and keep the reader from turning the pages. I hope you are successful with publishing The Ghost Wri... view book

Hi Helena - Your storyline is unique and the writing offers an easy and fun read. I particularly like how the imagery creates a fantastic world using the most ordinary items - e.g. the petrified orange peel, the visiting banana; and I absolutely love how Seamus uses his laces to communicate. It made... view book

Hi Katherine - this is quite a lovely story, the writing as sensitive as the subject. I haven't read books for this age group in quite a long time but I could definitely see this being on a school's recommended list. It is very charming and a wonderful reminder of the importance of strong family rel... view book
