WRITING THROUGH REVELATIONS, VISIONS AND DREAMS; The Memoir of a Writer’s Soul
A writing memoir that is a road map to understanding your own internal world, the “private estate,” within. Learning the language of your own soul will empower you and release creative energy that will illuminate your path and guide you in fulfilling your life’s purpose. This brilliant memoir will bring to life the intimate “I am” hidden within that, once recognized, raises a cry of joy.
Fragile Night
The stories move between humor, lyricism, and tragedy as the characters emerge from their trials strong and unafraid to face the challenges and risks of life.
