Stories give shape to our lives. When we read or hear a story, we step outside of ourselves and experience the world, however briefly, through another person’s eyes. They are how we learn empathy. They are how we learn to listen.

I have loved stories all my life, told them, read them, heard them, believed or disbelieved them. As a child I started writing them down. I’ve never stopped. Every once in a great while, one of my stories has been published.

My current project is finding an agent for my recently completed novel, All is Lost, the first in a series set on the imaginary island of Touperdu.
