I am fascinated by words and the ideas they create, the sounds they make and the feelings they evoke. Words build pictures and tear down barriers. Words are an escape, an adventure, sanctuary and freedom. I've been in love with words since their magic overtook me as a child reading smelly, yellowed pages in my grandmother's basement. And when I learned how they could come together to create a melody that sang my feelings, I played them on every bound and lined musical book I could find. Now, electronic words float freely across a universe of minds in hopes they will touch yours while yours touch mine.
