A writer for most of my life, I have sold several short stories to U.S. periodicals. I will be making a series of short stories available on Smashwords. I write whatever comes into my head, but it's usually to do with people, situations, personalities, emotions and life. That being said, this can take place in a variety of genres!

Stars and Turtles

The little girl with the yellow hat went to the park, accompanied by her mother. The girl’s name was An. It had been her decision to spell it with one N. There originally was a second N, making her name Ann, but one day, she had the idea of omitting the second N, so that the name would be uniquely hers. Her parents discussed it together and thought it was a bit odd, especially for a 9 year old, but decided to acquiesce happily, knowing that at one point, she would want to switch it back.
