| Wings As Eagles |
Author has written 28 stories for Historical, War, Mystery, General, and Romance. “…Those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength They will soar on Wings like Eagles…” Isaiah 40:31 I am a professional equine and pet photographer based in the Piedmont/Triad of North Carolina. I had a novella "Above & Beyond" published by PublishAmerica in 2007. I am hoping to continue to advance and improve as a writer...I publish my stories to fictionpress as I write them in order to obtain some feedback and suggestions before submitting them for formal review. I eventually hope to become published again and perhaps have a part-time career as a novelist. THEREFORE, I welcome constructive criticism on all my work! Note: The two stories I'm working on right now are "One Last Ride" and "Indian Summer". If anyone has suggestions on how to improve the prologue to "Indian Summer" I would greatly appreciate it! My two stories currently in progress are One Last Ride and Indian Summer Website (& blog) for my writing For those of you who might've wondered, yes--I do imagine John Quinn in "Indian Summer" to look like John Cena. However, John Quinn is his own character and (aside from the trademark wit and wrestling gig) is completely his own character with his own personality and history. :) If anyone is curious to know how I picture Connor in "One Last Ride", here he is (and yes this photo was taken by myself, copyright 2009 Freedom's Flight Photography). I also designed a cover for One Last Ride which you can find here. | |||||||||||
