"If one cannot enjoy reading a book over and over
again, there is no use in reading it at all." Oscar
Wilde
Dear Reader,
There is a beauty so pure and so real in reading that
I have yet to find anything that surpasses its
greatness. Reading allows us to step away from our
lives for a moment and fall into our imaginations. We
row lazily down the river with Amory Blaine, and
discuss politics or literature, in Fitzgerald's "This
Side of Paradise." We watch a young girl's journey of
self-discovery in the middle of a war-torn world in
"The Diary Of Anne Frank." Reading allows us to
question, to think and, best of all, to feel.
Thanks for stopping by my bio page! I'm an avid
reader. I've strolled through the streets of Dublin,
finding my way around simply from the descriptions in
James Joyce's novels and short stories, and I've
retraced a few of the footsteps of Joyce and Oscar
Wilde in London. My favorite authors are Joyce, Wilde,
F. Scott Fitzgerald and Charlotte Bronte. While I was
growing up, I read every World War II book on our
library's shelves, and I'm always discovering a new
piece of history that fascinates me.
I'm a freelance writer and have had some really cool
gigs in the last year including rewriting a campaign
letter for a Congressional candidate, rewriting
telemarketing scripts for a talent agency and
providing daily updates of three soap operas for a
now-defunct soap ezine. I hold a BA in Journalism and
Communications from Point Park College in Pittsburgh,
PA---check them out at www.PPC.edu. I plan to start
an MFA in Creative Writing in the next few years. My
husband and I also just started a new business. I'm
also active in rabbit rescue and hope to one day soon
start a rabbit/bird/animal rescue that will be a haven
for homeless, neglected and abused animals.
I live in Connecticut with my husband, Kevin, six
bunnies and seven budgies.
