The year 2014 was a year of high highs and low lows for me. I kept busy with my writing and blogging which made the lows bearable. One thing’s for sure––I ended the year on a good note. And I plan to make 2015 a positive year––no matter what happens.
“No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path.” ~ Buddha
My second book, The Fall of Lilith, should be out a little later this year. It is the first installment of my Fantasy Angels Series. I’ve written a few short stories for this blog––The Cursed Tree, Fall From Desire, and A Time to Mourn and a Time to Dance, using the same style in writing I used for The Fall of Lilith and the rest of the series to give you a taste of what it would be like to read the series. Soon I will post an excerpt from the book.
This year I would like to bring you more short stories in the genres I write, which are horror, fantasy, and suspense/thriller. If you know anyone who enjoys reading, especially in these genres, please let them know about this blog. I appreciate the support. I would also love to do more interviews, vlogs, spotlights on writers, poets, artists, and talented people in general.
To celebrate the new year I would like to list my most popular posts of 2014. Please feel free to click on the links, read, like, and comment.

Hello Doreen! Thank you very much. My dad is living on borrowed time. He has a strong will and my mom (an retired nurse) is taking good care of him. He has his good days and his bad ones. The holidays were good. I’m just trying to spend as much time with him as possible and tell him everything I want to say. Thank you for asking. 🙂 xx
