Okay. This is a bit of self-promotion for my books. No, it isn’t a plea to buy my books. Rather it’s a reason why I think you should invest in reading a few of my books. I know any devoted reader uses their favorite authors to escape. Why?
- Because they’re bored with the everyday toilet brush syndrome.
- Because they’re going through some rough times and want to escape it all.
- Because they’re looking for a bit of adventure and they can at least afford a book.
- Because they want to be someone else that is exciting, interesting and a risk taker.
- Because they want to learn about the future, the past, the possible, and the what if.
- Because they’re sad, recovering or looking for answers.
Books have a way of power washing our unfulfilled dreams to help us enjoy life. I wanted to be a character in a book that made my life exciting.
Tarzan’s Jane, Winter de Ballesteros; a beautiful English heiress come home to her beloved India, Sally Ride; our first female astronaut at NASA, Condoleezza Rice who became Secretary of State and Jessica Fletcher of Murder She Wrote who could solve any murder. I wanted to be a scientist, soldier, astronaut, writer, war correspondent and later to work for the CIA or FBI. 
As time went on, I forged a life of unexpected joy. I’ve done many exciting and things that if my mother knew about, she would have made me come home. So, I write because I want another adventure, to experience a romantic kind of love that is often skipped over these days. I just knew there were people out there just like me who had busy lives, working to survive, and raising families and taking chances that everything would work out.
This is why I create the stories I write because you are just like me:
- Because you desire a secret life
- Because escape is your only option
- Because you deserve a hero
- Because you have a secret life filled with extraordinary abilities and skills
- Because you deserve it
