Rachel's Lullaby 

Lay down your head

Fall fast asleep

Let my voice carry you into your dreams

Dream of the night

Stars in the sky

Dream of the sun

Starting to rise

Let my voice carry you

Out far away 

Down through the trees

Out to the bay

There you will find 

Peace where you




Star light 
Star bright
Why do you shine tonight

Who is it you aim to please
Is it the bird or the bees
Or the trees and their leaves
Please just shine for me

What Defines Me

This picture helps define me, because I love nature and everything outdoors. I love to hike in it, bike in it and just plain old explore. Like many writers before me, it has become an important source of inspiration for my writing as well as, for me personally, a quiet place to sit and think.

This picture expresses my love of reading, as well as my creativity. If I don't have my nose in a book (well a Kindle anyway) I'm writing. Right now I'm working on what is so far my first novel (I don't any of that terrible expository writing if I don't have to.) I do consider myself an author or at the very least, a writer. I hope to keep reading, and writing, for a very long time to come.
