- About Me:
- I'm sort of addicted to books. I love all genres but have a special place in my heart for a good mystery/horror story.
I'm an unpublished writer. Of course, I need to get the courage to send stuff out in order for that to change... I write mostly short stories, have made a few attempts at a novel and dabbled in poetry.
I work full-time and attend college at night. I'm teaching myself how to draw dragons and to speak Italian. (Both sort of on hold due to work and school)
I'm addicted to DD's Hazelnut coffee - hot or cold! :o)

Warning: Gripe Session Ahead
Of course, because I missed school on Friday night, I will now have to do two make up classes. One for when I'll be at the writer's conference and one for the class I just missed. I really feel like I can't get a break. I feel overwhelmed by what I have to do and what is required of me by my job, school, m… Continue

Early Endorsements for “A Circle of Souls”
Linda Fairstein, NYT Bestselling Author: "A fascinating debut - this novel takes the reader to the darkest places in the human soul, from a writer with the authenticity to lead us there. A stunning thriller and an important read."
Judge Judy Sheindlin, star of the Judge Judy Show: "The seminal work of this fine author kept me glued to my chair until the adventure was over and the mystery solved. A great read!"
Book Synopsis:
The sleepy town of Newbury, Connecticut, is shocked when a little girl is found brutally murdered. The town s top detective, perplexed by a complete lack of leads, calls in FBI agent Leia Bines, an expert in cases involving children.
Meanwhile, Dr. Peter Gram, a psychiatrist at Newbury s hospital, searches desperately for the cause of seven-year-old Naya Hastings devastating nightmares. Afraid that she might hurt herself in the midst of a torturous episode, Naya s parents have turned to the bright young doctor as their only hope.
The situations confronting Leia and Peter converge when Naya begins drawing chilling images of murder after being bombarded by the disturbing images in her dreams. Amazingly, her sketches are the only clues to the crime that has panicked Newbury residents. Against her better judgment, Leia explores the clues in Naya s crude drawings, only to set off an alarming chain of events.
In this stunning psychological thriller, innocence gives way to evil, and trust lies forgotten in a web of deceit, fear, and murder.
Gotta go and start on the animation (after I clean my bathroom. Yoohoo! I know how to live it up.) Snow made for a short holiday season (and couldn't meet with my buddies). Hope snow doesn't come tomorrow as having my annual get together with a friend who got laid off and left my company a few years ago. I am dreaming of moving to sunnier climates. I wake up in the grey gloom and go home in the grey gloom. Somewhere the sun is shining. But, I'm thankful for a warm home, food on the table, a snuggy bed, and hope for a brighter 2009. Take care. Have a fun NY Eve. Hope you're having fun. Too many drunks out in my area so I prefer a nice, quiet night. PS. Did you try reading "The Secret Adventures of Charlotte Bronte" yet? I got it from the library but couldn't listen in time, so am going to buy a copy and support a fellow author.
Take care. Have a great month. Dawn
Thanks, Viansa, for the comment about my Buster. It cheers me up to come home from a stinky day at work and have him wagging his tail and dancing about my legs, eager to say "hello". I have to learn how to download photos from my new digital camera to my laptop to share more photos.
The book I referred to is "The Secret Adventures of Charlotte Bronte" by Laura Joh Rowland. I'm looking forward to reading it.
By the way, even though we're signed into a network, I've found that my posts show up on Google Alert under my name. And the search engine is picking up some of my posts. I don't think this network is as private as I thought it was.
Are you back in class this summer or taking it off?
