I am a blogger/essayist, novelist and memoirist. I have had the good or ill fortune to have lived a diverse 76 years. I have emotional scars that will never go away, but they are healing in the hands of God. The source was a father who sadly had difficulty giving or accepting love.
The roller-coaster ride, endured most severely in my 20s, is the essence of my three memoirs presented here. The heartaches in the books, I believe, are balanced with some perspective, reflection, and humor. Please share those memories with me and perhaps kick-start some of your healing.
As to my novelette, published December 2021, there is infidelity, betrayal, and horror in the murder mystery. On the other hand, there is a beautiful love story separate and apart from the darker events.
The work alternates the two stories where the medical examiner in the homicide case is enveloped in a budding romance. The semi-autobiographical writing itself was pure joy, that was completely unexpected. I felt truly blessed.
