:Works: fiction & non-fiction

 

My non-fiction work, a memoir, opens to my joyful moments, and reveals traumatic episodes of my life. The mental and physical anguish I experience turn painful issues into a creative life. I invite my readers to share this cathartic journey in the hope of helping others deal with strong emotions which crippled me: issues such as change, ego, shame, betrayal,  religion, sex & violence, and regrets. I know that's a lot of debris to get through! However, Happiness and living in the NOW are also themes I explore, beautiful ideas for healing oneself which I gained from fabulous pieces of literature and esteemed life-coaches. The former and the latter led me to greater self-understanding, and self-acceptance. Join me in this journey of the human condition. Prepare to be surprised at what you learn about yourself! (photos; mature content)

Young people have stories to tell. They have things to say. Their feelings need expression whatever the issues.Monologues for Youth Volume 1 makes a great outlet for emotional issues.

 

What better way to release this pent-up energy than speaking, vocalizing from the theatrical masks of drama?

A dozen pieces ...voices of adults who speak of yearning, love, and loss.  Come for the joy of story/Stay for the thrill of words/Linger in the shared integrity of emotion/Then leave, understanding your humanity...
