I’m a native of Southern California and wouldn’t have it any other way. I’ve always been an avid reader of fiction and can/will read just about anything I pick up. From Eric Jerome Dickey to Dean Koontz my mind is open. Some people read to escape but me, well I read to explore, to go on a journey without having to leave wherever I am, to see into someone elses life, enjoy another community, another culture. Sometimes reading can make you take a closer look at yourself, make you see things you otherwise wouldn’t. So I took a shot at it many years ago and started penning my first novel “This Can’t be Life” and when I felt that warm sensation in the pit of my stomach, I knew this is what I should be doing. Very few are blessed with being 10…

Talise: I sat behind my desk drumming my finger nails against the wood frame trying my hardest not to be pissed off at Simone. She is infamous for pushing men away.

I really like this piece. I don't have any critiques and would love to read more.
