Bio
My sister says I'm haunted. Guess that's why they say "Write what you know". If I have to deal with it, dear reader, then so do you. I throw in the occasional sweet story, just for a palette cleanser...enjoy!

Just Hold My Hand
I hope you never read this letter. Not because I do not mean every word, but because I know you well and you will be mad that I have made you cry. But I cannot help it. You do not understand how your resilience has affected so many lives, including my own.
