I didn't begin writing until later in life, I had often dreamed about it, but felt my lack of formal education would impede me too greatly. It has been a huge learning curve, but I am so delighted to have done it, and the joy of it is, I learn more, every single day.

I have very eclectic taste. What I read tends to vary greatly, depending on my need of the moment. I enjoy anything written by the late Tom Clancy in the fiction selections, and will often re-read them in order. I'm not big on Romance novels, however I have read some wonderful works by Author Tom Winton ..."Beyond Nostalgia" is a stand out. I read and enjoy Erotica on occasion. About the only genre outside my comfort zone is Science Fiction...but having said that I have also read the 'Dune' series.

I spent much of my early life living on the streets. I believe that this is pivotal to my writing. I have written of my life in those early years under the pen name of Stacey Danson. They were difficult books to write, the flashbacks were dreadful. I realized then, that I wanted to do more, I wanted to create a world in writing that I didn't have to experience first hand. Admittedly though some of my character voices sound very familiar.

I had been traditionally published with both my non-fiction and fiction books. Sadly both the publishers I was signed with shut down. I decided then, that I wanted more control over my work. Now, If I cease writing, then that will be my choice. All the promotional effort will have not gone to waste.

I delight in creating believable dialogue. I love it when that flow is working and I can either be horrified by what my creation has just said, or laugh out loud at the exchanges. Like many authors I am my own hardest critic, so when I finally reach the last paragraph, the last edit...the satisfaction is enormous. Although I believe we can never stop learning and improving our craft.

Everything. What are we without them?

I am currently working on the sequel to Acts Beyond Redemption..."Acts of Betrayal" I hope to have it done and available by April this year.

I also have a collection of Paranormal Shorts, and another of very 'Dark' shorts that will be up soon.
