I am not a writer. I am a Christian, widow, mother, grandmother, friend, and royal pain.

The world is created from tiny bits of matter brought together to shape beauty out of the ugliest form, color out of the darkest depth, fragrance in the tiniest of particles, tantalize your tongue with opposing taste, texture to awake your touch and a symphony in the slightest of stirring. In each of these your mind creates a word or thought that is tucked away in its passages and recalled by a mere wisp of a thought or action. These words, when captured and combined, can pass from one mind to the next that experience in minute detail as if the reader had been an intimate traveling companion with the writer on a journey only they share.

That is my goal. I cannot reposition the hourglass to restore time long lost, but, by borrowing the characters we are so well acquainted with that they feel like family, I hope to capture that moment in time and enjoy it, recreate it, explore it in new and exciting ways. And I hope you come along, for no journey is as much fun as it is with a friend.

I have been blessed by having SaraiEsq to work along side of me in preparing my Journeys. She corrects, encourages, and advises. She is a mentor. She is an elegant flower gracing the corner of my untended garden.

And thanks to those of you who stop by for a chat with comments to my stories, the positive, the negative, the corrections and the slams. I appreciate comments so much! My internet door mat is out for you. I'll offer you a glass of sweet tea or a cuppa coffee and we'll sit in the garden and chat about the next journey.

Best reason for writing Fanfiction is from my 5 yr old granddaughter. When a show she was watching went off, she bemoaned, "Aw, I wasn't finished watching!".
