I have been writing for 30 years, but only in the last one have I focused on it full time. I have one novella that was published last year in Egypt, the translated title of which is "Azora: the Healing Journey". The novel I posted on this site is the first in a series which is three-fourths of the way complete. Being in a rural area, I have little chance to interact with other writers and appreciate any opportunity. I am an avid, eclectic reader. My biggest criteria are that a book have interesting characters I can connect with and that it make me feel something--not necessarily good feelings either, just deep, honest ones.
