Fate
“Where’s Carmen?” Linda asks, coming out of Carmen’s bedroom. “She’s out with her boyfriend,” Jasmine says casually from the couch. “Again! It’s almost curfew. Dad is going to flip if she’s not back in the next hour!” Linda shouts. Jasmine shrugs her shoulders, unaffected by the situation. Linda grabs the remote and shuts the TV… Continue reading

“Write With the Door Closed, Rewrite With the Door Open.”
I sit on the couch in our living room; the fireplace is roaring and my familiar is sitting on my lap. I’m staring at a blank screen, and I feel his eyes burning a hole through my head. This is what I write: I’m happy today. I’m warm and full, and I’m at peace with… Continue reading

“Everything ends, and that’s always sad. But then everything begins too, and that’s always happy.”

And They Lived…
Not happily ever after. Not Terribly either. It was somewhere in the mundane middle that seemed to take up most of our lives; the mundane of waking up every morning, working an eight-hour shift, coming home to eat dinner, and getting ready for the next day. Although she has to admit, there is a level… Continue reading

Secretos
The silence was the only thing Diana heard going back into the house. She Walked into the living room and everyone was sitting quietly. Alison was biting her nails, Jade was twirling her hair, and Lily was staring intently at a spot on her shorts. Her little brother was off somewhere, probably hanging out with… Continue reading

She
She was elegant in her deception. Without warning, she’ll make you her possession. Her smile was brighter than the greatest star in the galaxy. Don’t let this fool you, everything she says is a fallacy. When she kisses you, it’ll feel like a dream. Don’t forget, she’ll never be on your team. She’ll spoil you… Continue reading

I Will Always Love You
Samuel woke up to the smell of freshly brewed coffee. He reached over and felt the space next to him. Ava must have woken up early to make coffee; a smile spread across his aging face. He threw a bathrobe on and walked over to the kitchen, expecting to find his wife but finding a… Continue reading
About Me
Hi there! I’m thrilled to have you join me on my blog. I write fiction, nonfiction, and everything in between.
In my free time, I like to keep busy with a variety of hobbies. I’m an avid reader and writer, I love to knit, crochet, and embroider.
At the end of the day, though, my main priority is spending time with my loved ones. Whether it’s traveling or just spending quality time together, I’m happiest when I’m surrounded by those I care about.
