Welcome!

This is my little place on the vast information super highway. While I've owned this place for a while, it seems I never finish decorating before I decide to renovate. I've finally decided to finish what I start and maybe share a few words.

This corner will be where I write about my latest reads. I have a tendency to devour the books I read, so think of the bookshelf as my kitchen in this home. Whatever you need to sate your appetite, I have probably probed. I've always been a lover of reading and I feel it would be unfair to keep my recipes, so to speak, to myself. Every story impacts me differently and even the same story will be new when re-read a few years down the road. I'd like to share with the world my experiences with all the different books I've read. Just as a chef puts a bit of their soul into their food, I think I put a bit of my soul into every book I read.

I'd also like to share news of my own stories. I think many of those who truly love reading find that they have stories of their own to tell. I have so many ideas that seem to constantly percolate in my mind and I have committed this year to sharing my worlds with the wider world. I can't promise that the stories are original, or well-written. What I can promise is that before any story I publish or post will be polished and worked on. It will (ideally) lack grammar errors and will have been workshopped by other writers.

I appreciate the time you have devoted to getting to know me and my passions better. I will be more diligent about painting and decorating this place that is my home on the internet. Thank you and I hope to see you soon.

Books - I just finished reading the third book in  N.K. Jemison's Inheritance Trilogy. This followed closely on the heels of Paolini's Inheritance Cycle.

Writing - I have been letting an idea for a short story work itself out in my mind. It has a bit of a post-apocalyptic flavor with a dash of zombie. I'm sure you are seeing the super sexy Will Smith in your mind ala "I am Legend." I promise you, it's not like that. But I'll let the idea continue to work itself out before I reveal anything more.
