About this site
I created this site to provide additional information about my writing to prospective Publishers and Editors.
The internet is a big place. I know I’ve appreciated those times during my writing when I met someone who could provide me with that crucial bit of advice that got me over a hurdle with my writing. So the other audience for this site is other writers.
There are themes that bump around in your head which, if not told to anyone, stay there. They can stay there for years. Now and then, you’ll breakthrough and one of these themes gives you the energy to want to say something about it. Whether that’s in the form of a story, or a letter to someone, or even a blog. The thing with ideas is you never know where they’ll lead. Or who else they’ll help. So, this site is putting those things out there, to be considered by anyone who’s interested. Hopefully, some of these themes resonate with a few.
