But some day you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again. ―
Writing for the young at heart, not necessarily the young.
You are a part of a bigger picture. Every decision you make, every choice, affects those around you.
Why I Write
In a world of harsh realities, we need the magic of imagination. Some might call this “escapism,” but I believe fiction can inspire us to see the world in a different light. Perhaps we won’t be the unlikely hero that changes the course of history, but we will affect the lives around us. The question is: will it be for the better?
When Michelle is transported to a world of her own imagination, her only hope of saving her children is to save the fantasy world of her abandoned novel.

In my opinion, the Steve Rogers female counterpart is Wonder Woman (yes, I know that’s DC). I love Captain America and I love Wonder Women. Captain Marvel was just not it for me. She came across as one of those Type A, annoying women I don’t like.
They hated Carol for the same reasons they love Steve Rogers. Both share that relentless spirit, refuse to give up, and are willing to sacrifice. The only real difference between them Steve started small, and Carol is a woman. Yet he’s inspiring, while she’s labeled as Mary Sue.
I don’t typically think in tropes, but if I had to pick a favorite it would be: finding out a “dead” parent is actually alive.
Examples: Luke Skywalker and Vader
William Turner and “Bootstrap Bill”
The Walking Drum
A Tale of Two Cities
What's your favorite trope ever?

I just noticed that I’m only 2 reviews away from 30 ratings on my 1st novel “The Missing.”
It’d be a blessing if 2 people would be ever so kind as to pick up a copy and leave a review, or some folks who have already read it could go give their review. 🙏🏻🙂
