"I began writing Turning Points in 2002 when the first several chapters came flowing out, the characters showed up fully formed and ready to have me tell their story. Much to my shock, I discovered in Chapter 2 that my main character, Kelly, was an aspiring poet. I had never written a lick of poetry in my life. I was this close, then and there, to putting the kybosh on the whole thing.

 

 

 

 

I'm glad I didn't....thanks to this entirely surprising experience, being given the gift of going through the creative growth process of Kelly, my own song lyrics emerged naturally from her poetry...and this actually changed the course of her life (fictionally). Now, a decade later, I am an active singer-songwriter, ever growing and expanding my work in composing, arranging, producing and performing music. Taking the scary risk to write a novel uncovered my true passion for creating music. My life has been forever altered, for the better."
