About Me

My photo
Becoming an author wasn't a dream. It fell upon me like silken bedsheets. Smoothly transitioning my life from photography to writing. I dove into writing children's books; right into the deep end. Then I almost drowned in my ignorance of the publishing world. It took six years for me to get on track. I have no money to invest in my future. But I have time. Using free resources, I learn the craft of writing. My ambition to write more than a simple book, clutches my mind. I write and I write, but have yet to publishing any of my growing body of work. Will people like them? Will others even be interested? One day, I will overcome my insecurities about my own words and take the plunge. But I will ensure I don't wallow in the deep end this time.

Take a peek at my writing.

What we write, inevitably, is a window to our soul.

The letters P, Q, T & U

We are almost done the Jazzy Alphabet book.  Dale, my hubby, is my best helper but he's not in any photos because Jazzy is the star.

Here are some excerpts from the sessions for P, Q, T & U. These are not the final pictures that are in the book, but they give you an idea.

I hand't decided yet what to use for T, but we were walking the trail in Windsor Castle Park and we found a turtle.  The photo is taken with my cell phone.

It had just stopped raining so we took advantage of the lull in the storm. Jazzy wasn't too happy about touching the wet grass. 


The purse pictures were fun.  Dale had to place the handle in Jazzy's mouth and remove his hand and I had about 2 seconds to snap the photo before she dropped it.  We repeated that about 5 times one day and tried again another.  The final image is great, but you'll have to buy a book to see it. 



Jazzy is wondering if the quarter is something she can eat.

    These are cute! I love the top pic of him with his eyes wild and the pretty roses.
