<b><font color="purple">I am: an eclectic soul, a vibrant woman, a proud parent, a seasoned scribe, a passionate lover, an armchair philosopher, an amateur metaphysician, a tenacious survivor, a life-long student, a loyal friend and/or a formidable foe (your choice).
<p>
I've been a professional writer and editorial service provider since May 1997. To date, my work has been published a couple hundred times online and in print. I've also had several nonfiction and fiction books published (one by Writer's Digest Books) and another co-authored book published. In addition, I published an award-winning e-zine for writers for over 15 years.<br></font color="purple">
<p>
In summary, I am a happily married mother of two adult children, a music lover (gothic, industrial, metal, alternative, classical), an avid reader (my husband and I have more books than we can count!), an online gamer (World of Warcraft is my favorite), a seasoned paranormal investigator, and a die-hard eclectic. I also love crows, ravens, dogs, lemurs, and sharks.

I am welcome to meeting new LJ friends! However, before you add me, realize I don't respond to threats or cajoling where "mandatory" comments are concerned.

"Compassion is not weakness, and concern for the unfortunate is not socialism."
—Hubert Humphrey

"I think most creative people I have met have a strong sense of inferiority they're battling all the time. It's probably one of the reasons why they went into writing, or painting, or acting to begin with."
—Ray Bradbury

"Abstraktionen in der Wirklichkeit geltend machen, heißt Wirklichkeit zerstören."
(To make abstractions hold in reality is to destroy reality.)
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, philosopher

"I do what I love, and what right does someone else have to judge whether it's 'real' or not? If you listen to those kinds of people, you'll only do what everyone else has done; you'll never discover anything new. Never listen to people who tell you that you can't do something. They're the same people who said that we'd never fly."
—Denny Dent

<b>"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust, sweat, and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes up short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement; and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those timid souls who know neither victory or defeat."
—Theodore Roosevelt</b>
