My Artist Statement For 2013
Writing to me is like a rose in winter, beautiful despite the harsh conditions. I write Victorian romance to show the world that life does have a happy ending, that love is very important and conquers everything else. My novels are based upon basic human emotions and circumstances which turn complex through deception, redemption, revelation, and tragedy. At the HEA, not only does the protagonists learn from their actions/mistakes, but the reader gains new insight into their own mind. The Victorians believed in a many different things and their legacy deserves a story.
The works in progress begin with the "Victorian Deception" series featuring four siblings and their cousin from the notorious Kendall family who lives in Wiltshire, England.
Ever since I was young, I had read novels and wished to create my own adventures. When I write a certain amount or sell copies of my books, I become more motivated to succeed. The flexibility and creativity that comes with being an author is something to be revered.
"Success [in writing] is a journey, not a destination."
Happy writing!
