An extraordinary week
CHAPTER FOUR It was eight thirty when Jessie pulled up to Jaynes’ house. The top of Topanga Canyon was still engulfed in early morning mist, it cast an enchanted glow around the landscape, all it needed to complete the scene was a silver clad knight on a great white steed riding through the trees.

Tom....Tom....Tom....wake up, you're having a bad dream. You have things to do...fix the hole in the chicken’s house, clean up after the lambs, finish that new story.... Tom... Tom...dammit! Tom wake up! I wish that's what I could have said...but...instead.

When dreams come true
CHAPTER THREE “Jayne, I have an idea - I'd like to write a story about what's happening to you. I've mentioned that I joined this online writing group called Vocal and they encourage writers with many challenging contests. I would love to include your transformation into a story. Would you mind if I did?”

Find time to write
I’d like to take a moment to give a shout out to Vocal and acknowledge all that they give to us. I’m hoping my assertion won’t be misconstrued as just an overture for Brownie points or just another complimentary kiss-ass piece. Seriously, It’s recognition for their gift to us that motivates me.

Bread Crumbs
In a world where life spinning out of control becomes the norm, finding a balance becomes a salient necessity. Why do I create? Life force drives my ambition to perform in a myriad of ways. Finding a home in those creations is my reward and curiously it may even be found spanning lifetimes.
