I'm currently writing...

I’m currently writing a YA main stream novel. The story is about a family of witches, their struggles in life and a prophecy they must for fill with a little romance thrown in the mix.
Jana has been summed home by her mother and she finds herself filled with so much regret. Even in a family of witches the struggles between a mother and daughter are no different from anyone else’s. It’s been ten years since Jana came close to breaking a witches sacred code to harm none.
Then there is Lucan when he was a young man he accepted he was destined to be connected to Jana. His presence was fated along time ago. He knows what happens in days – or even – months – to come will affect all witches magic.

More About Me

I am a newbie with no experience. I am 53 years young, even if my body say’s other wise. I was a interior designer for 23 years. I was forced into retirement because of health reasons and I don’t like it one bit. Writing has been a life line at this time in my life and I am hungry to learn and grow. I have been working on my novel about a year and a half. I have written sixteen chapters with a word count of 43, 848. I am only one third through with it. I can not tell you how many time I’ve started over. I struggle with the technical, punctuation and the dreaded evil of all spelling. I am a artsy person and have always loved the gift of someone telling a story. I enjoy sitting by the fire with a good book. Decorating my friends homes when I can. I love making flower arrangements for the holidays. Sitting at the beach on a cool night with my husband and discussing new books with my daughter. I have survived cancer twice in my life. I’m now fighting three autoimmune diseases, however they shall not win I enjoy my life to much and can’t wait to see what’s in store for me still. Writing is one of my guilty pleasures in life and I’m holding on to it tightly for I have found I enjoy it as much as a good glass of chilled wine. I look forward to meeting you all and making new friends.
