the decision was made to place you into hospice, we knew the doctors could do
nothing more for you. Your lungs and heart gave out. You could no longer
swallow, eat, speak, move or breathe. The end was near. We all followed the
gurney down to the Hospice Unit, and waited. We did not wait for you to get
better; we waited for you to pass on because that was the only place left for
you to go today. We did not expect it to happen so soon. We stayed there
looking at your lifeless body, as you struggled to breathe with the normal
oxygen tube that once kept you alive. It was no longer helping. Nothing was.
You were there to finish out your life in comfort; not to be treated. There
were no more treatments left to extend your life…We were so tired. It was a
long and trying day. We decided to go home, since the timed shots of morphine
helped you relax, brought you comfort, and made you breathe easier. That was a
small miracle in itself. You fought a long, hard, courageous battle…We expected
to come back the next morning to sit with you again, even though you most
likely would not know we were there.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>However, it was not in God’s plan. You passed away peacefully, several
hours after we left you. There were no more tomorrows.</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10pt;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>On the day you died, we
also learned that “She” planned on having no viewing for you at the Funeral
Home, and no church service or burial. “She” planned on having you quickly
cremated with plans to take you back with her to her own country once “She”
sold the house you shared together. Your final resting place would not be in
America alongside your parents in a mausoleum, where we could visit you; it
would be in her country. “She” shared this information with us in a room filled
with family members, including me and your Son, our Son, as doctors prepared us
for your imminent death. Our son and I were shocked at this decision. “She”
consulted no one and had no compassion for the family members sitting there as
well, listening to this; no compassion for your Son, our Son. Yes, as his wife,
perhaps “She” had the right to make that decision; however, “She” did not have
the right to callously make a decision like that without at least mentioning it
to your Son, our Son, privately or before this day happened.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>With little decency and no compassion, “She”
instead allowed it to come as a shock to him. Sometimes you learn more about
whom people really are at the most intense, strained and emotional times in
life. </span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10pt;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>As it turned out, “She”
had a change of heart, I guess, and held a viewing at the Funeral Parlor for
just three very short hours. We were all in attendance. Your friends, and all
other family members, had the opportunity to attend as well to say a final
good-bye to you. Perhaps “She” did it for your family. I will give her that.
“She” did not do it for your Son, our Son. She did not discuss the arrangements
with your Son, our Son,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>at all. “She”
went ahead and did it her way with other family members to assist her. Sadly,
“She” did not involve your Son, our Son, at all. There was no church service,
but a priest did come to the Funeral Home for a short prayer service.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That following Monday, you were cremated. It
was private, and no family members attended. Perhaps it was too hard to attend.
Perhaps they were not in agreement with her decision to cremate you. Your Son,
our Son, did not attend either as he was not in favor of his Dad being
incinerated. He did not want to be a part of that. We did expect “She” would
attend the cremation along with her biological family members who came in from her
country. That was not the case. We later learned you were sent to the crematory
alone, along with the Funeral Home personnel and driver. That saddened your
Son, our Son, and I, knowing it was her wish to have you cremated in the first
place; yet, “She” sent you off alone like an animal going to slaughter. “She” received your ashes
on Wednesday. “She” never mentioned a word about any of this to your Son, our Son,
and we have not spoken to her since. Your Son, our Son, has been kind enough to
text her (because “She” prefers no phone calls) to see if “She” may need any
help with anything. “She” said “She” was okay for now, but would call him if
“She” needed anything. I doubt “She” will call. Maybe “She” will. Who knows. My
feeling is that “She” does not deserve your Son’s, our Son’s, help, concern or
compassion. “She” showed him none of that when you were alive. </span></b></p>

life and make her plan to go back to her country, with you in tow in an
urn.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There you both will stay. That will
be it. “She” came between you and your Son, our Son, in life - and now in
death. As sad as that was, is and will be, “She” bears that responsibility,
whether she acknowledges it or not. You, unfortunately, allowed it to happen as
well; even if you did not mean for any of it to happen. I know you feared
repercussions from her. You told me so. </span></b></p>

which doesn’t really matter anymore at this point, may your spirit fly with the
Angels. May you join your parents in Heaven, and may you be enlightened in the
spiritual world and shine your light down upon this earth, as you look after
your Son, our Son. May you Rest in Eternal Peace.</span></b></p>

explained to Dom that she had recently met a teacher at school who was not only
her co-worker, but an interesting acquaintance. Her name was Cordelia Heavens.
Cordelia was as whimsical as her name, and Julie became attached to her in a
warm way. Cordelia had a charm about her that was irresistible. It seemed
people easily gravitated toward her and thoroughly enjoyed her company. Julie
told Dom she was one of those people, and she and Cordelia now shared a special
bond and friendship. She said Cordelia was a brilliant teacher, a friendly and
helpful person to be around, and was well-liked by students and staff. She
further explained to Dom that although he had not had the opportunity to meet
her in person yet, she and Julie shared many lunches together in the Teachers’
Lounge, and accompanied each other to weekly Teachers’ Conferences at the
school. She said Cordelia came from England and had a strong English accent
which Julie absolutely adored, and she couldn’t wait for Dom to meet her. Dom
expressed that he was so happy to hear that Julie found a friend and teaching
colleague at school she got along well with, since she recently transferred
from Grove Elementary, but was confused as to how this was related to their
discussion about Rosa and the “then what” plan.</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 10pt;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Julie
further explained that Cordelia had a special interest and a special skill
outside of school. She dabbled a bit in casting spells, but only to do good. It
was more of a hobby. She did it for herself, good friends and family…Dom’s eyes
almost popped out of his head. He asked, “Is our ‘then what’ plan to cast a
spell on Rosa to change her behavior or permanently get rid of her, Julie?”
Julie stared deeply into Dom’s eyes, and replied, “I was thinking about it.
It’s worth a try Dom, because Rosa needs to be stopped. A normal approach just
will not work with her, so going this route is an option. I have not discussed
this with Cordelia yet, but I would like to, with or without your consent. I
hope, however, you see this my way and support me on this. I am doing it for
both of us. Believe me, I have been giving it a lot of thought.”</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 10pt;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Dom
had a confused look on his face. It seemed as if he was stuck somewhere between
“this is crazy” and “okay, let’s try it”. As he remained silent, Julie studied
his face for answers. She said, “Will you please say something, Dom. We have to
think outside the box here. Rosa is not who we both thought she was. Her
obsession with you and hatred for me is dangerous. Say something, please!”</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 10pt;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Dom
still remained silent for a few more very long minutes, then told Julie he was
not on board with this at all. He said he wasn’t into casting spells on people
and never entertained the idea in his entire life. He stressed it could be
dangerous, or it could be nothing at all. Dom then said he could be totally
wrong in his thinking on it, the same way he was totally wrong about whom the
real Rosa was; but he was not comfortable with this idea.</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 10pt;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Julie
begged Dom to try to go along with this. She said they had no other options at
this point and made it very clear that she was going to move forward on it. She
said, “Please Dom. I need your support on this. I can’t do this without it. I
need to know you are okay with it and that we are in this together. Even if
you’re not okay with it, please say you are. Just say it for me.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 10pt;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Dom
could not say no to Julie. He loved her that much, and she looked so
disappointed. He could not bear to let her down. He said, “Okay Julie, I’m okay
with you seeking help from Cordelia. You feel better now? We are in this
together and we need to support one another. Let’s try it.” Julie was ecstatic.
Dom had one concern, however. He asked if this “spellcasting magic” of
Cordelia’s does not work on Rosa, what next? Julie responded, “Let’s leave it
up to Cordelia. I will stay on top of the entire process as I work closely with
her. I never did anything like this in my entire life, either; but it’s worth a
shot. Let me speak with my friend to see how this ‘mojo’ works. You, Dom, my
love, can just go about your business like none of this is going on. When I
need to involve you, I will.” Dom shook his head as if to say “what are we
getting ourselves into”; but he had no plan and Julie had the “then what” plan,
which was better than nothing. </span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 10pt;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>So
now that this was settled, they headed to bed hand in hand. They both looked
forward to a Monday morning meeting with Mr. Wellings in order to clear Dom’s
name; and a clandestine session between Julie and Cordelia, in order to enlist
Cordelia’s special services for a covert operation of voodoo and mysticism that
will, hopefully, stop the devilish Rosa in her tracks. They were both
optimistic that Mr. Wellings would be willing to sweep the accusation against
Dom under the rug, as if it never existed, because of the evidence they will
present to him. Dom, on the other hand, was not too optimistic about Cordelia
and her “special” powers. However, Julie assured him that she had every
confidence in Cordelia, and he trusted her judgment so far. She kissed Dom on
the lips and whispered, “All will be fine. I promise.” Dom kissed her back and
whispered, “Somehow I believe that. I can’t wait to meet the charismatic
Cordelia.” Julie giggled and told Dom not to worry, and to leave everything up
to her and Cordelia. He half-heartedly agreed with a smile, as they fell asleep
in each other’s arms. </span></b><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"></span></b></p>

He played "Gerard Stiles" who was a good friend of Quentin Collins (David Selby). Gerard became fully possessed by the spirit of the evil warlock "Judah Zachery". Quite a story and quite a performance.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;">…Grace
could not believe what had just occurred at the hands of her husband
Frank.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This was unimaginable.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This was so out of character for Frank, even
if he was intoxicated.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He went off the
deep end.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She felt like she had just
witnessed this horrific act of violence from the sidelines, as if it had just
happened to someone else.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But,
unfortunately, it had just happened to her.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Frank looked back at Grace and yelled, “Now Joe can have you!”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Grace cried, “Why Frank?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>How could you do such a thing?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You raped me!”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Frank smirked and replied, “I didn’t rape you
Grace.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You’re my wife.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’m entitled to one last fling for the road,
don’t you think?”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;">Grace
was shocked.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She shouted, “Who are you
Frank?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This isn’t you!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You’re crazy!” Frank went upstairs to get his
bags.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>By the time he came back down,
Grace had composed herself.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Her attire
was as neat as when she first got dressed; it was her mind that was emotionally
unkempt.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She could still smell the
essence of Frank on her body.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It made
her sick.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She needed to shower…Frank
dropped his bags, walked over to her, and said, “This isn’t how we should be
ending Grace.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You brought the animal out
in me today!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I told you I would work
things out with Angel and little Mary, and come back to you and the kids. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You won’t give me that chance, and I think Joe
is the reason!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So if you want to act
like a slut, that’s just how you’ll be treated!”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;">Grace
wiped the tears from her face and asked Frank to leave.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She reminded him that their situation was his
fault, not hers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She told him to leave
Joe out of this, and to go away and make his life with Angel and Mary now.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Grace added, “You disgust me Frank.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Any respect that I might have had for you is
gone.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After what you did to me today, I
will never forgive you.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I won’t forgive
you for betraying our marriage with Angel, and I won’t forgive you for raping
me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You forced yourself on me today,
against my wishes!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That is rape Frank!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Even if we’re married.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The law is on my side.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You better pray that I do not tell anyone
about this – the police, Joe, the kids, Father Mike, Mr. Greco, or your
precious Angel.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Because if I tell any of
them what just happened to me, at your hands Frank, each of those people I just
named will all have a reason to hate you even more.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The police will have a reason to put your
sick, sorry ass in jail.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Father Mike
might find a way to forgive you, but your kids won’t.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Joe will probably want to beat you to a
pulp…and Mr. Greco, I’m sure, will hunt you down and blow your head off for
doing something so violent and so filthy, just before moving in with his loving
daughter and granddaughter.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If Angel
finds out about this Frank – well, I don’t think you’ll be staying at her house
for very long.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You’ll probably find
yourself on the streets where you belong – that is until Mr. Greco catches up
with you and leaves you for dead.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That’s
what you deserve Frank.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You created this
mess, now live with it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You’re a vicious
animal.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I never knew you were capable of
such cruel, brutal behavior!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Now get out!”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 10pt; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;">Frank
responded, with voice cracking, “Oh my God, Grace!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I deserved that.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I really deserved that!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I don’t even recognize who I am anymore.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This whole situation has destroyed me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My actions today are unforgivable.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I don’t know what came over me. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s the liquor Grace!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It has to be.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I’m despicable.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I lost all sense
of reality.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’m going to burn in hell
for this…The thought that I may have lost you to Joe is more than I can
bear.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’m sorry Grace.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’m so sorry for hurting you today in such a
ruthless way.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If I could take it all
back, I would…But I can’t!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You have to
know this is not who I am Grace.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Something bad, something twisted, came over me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I had no control.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There is no other explanation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s who I’ve become over losing you and my kids.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’m so distraught Grace.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’m so sorry.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 10pt; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;">“Get
out!” Grace demanded.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Frank left the
house a broken man, tortured by his own demons.</span></p>

</p><div class="authorfullinterview">
<b>1. Could you tell us a little about where you grew up and what your childhood was like? </b>
<p>I grew up in Brooklyn, New York, which was like living in a small
town within a big City. I still call Brooklyn my home. I and my Sister
were raised by Italian-American parents, in a close-knit Italian
neighborhood. We shared fun times in our backyards with our friends and
parents, who sipped coffee and chatted loudly, as we ran about happy and
carefree. We were all family. My friends and I played “sidewalk” games
of hop-scotch, hide and seek, tag and jump rope, and rode our bikes
around the block until the day became the night. We listened to the
latest hits on our portable record players, while gathering on each
other’s “stoops” on summer nights waiting for the ice cream truck to
come by. The aromas of fresh bread and pizza lingered on street corners,
while the tantalizing “Scent of the Gods” (a mix of onions, garlic and
tomato sauce) made its way from our parents’ windows to our waiting
nostrils…Sunday Mass and Sunday dinners were big events as well;
visiting with our Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles and Cousins – always a
loud, joyous gathering. It was all about family and community. </p>
<b>2. As a true fan of "Dark Shadows," what initially drew you to the show and what made you become so passionate about it? </b>
<p>The Original “Dark Shadows” came out in 1966 and ran through 1971. I
was10 years old in 1966; too young to fully understand the various story
lines, yet old enough to know I was intrigued by the Gothic soap opera
that introduced my young friends and I to vampires, werewolves, witches,
séances, and the magic that attracted us to every character. Today that
passion still exists, from generation to generation, as fans continue
to connect through social media and re-runs of this wonderful show. Some
of the original actors, who are still living today, stay connected to
their fans on social media; which is truly special... As bizarre as it
may have seemed, “Dark Shadows” was about family, friendships and dark
secrets; yet we enjoyed our daily visits (after school) to the
“Collinwood” home, where all were welcome!!! </p>
<b>3. What initially sparked your interest in poetry, and how has it evolved over time? </b>
<p>I became interested in poetry when I was in grammar school, and our
teacher asked us to write about a family pet. With that assignment, I
fell in love with expressing myself through words and rhyme. I
discovered something that truly excited me in a unique way. This
continued into adulthood, as I secretly found myself writing poetry for
myself only - until I decided to share it with others through online
writing communities, a blog, and self-publishing on Amazon. Opportunity
knocked, and I embraced it. </p>
<b>4. What led you to transition from a supervisory administrative position to pursuing a career in writing? </b>
<p>Great question. Writing was something I was always passionate about,
but not something I thought about as a career since I knew it would not
pay the bills. Writing, however, still remained my private “happy place”
throughout the years. It was an extension of who I was… I married at a
young age, had my son soon after, and realized that I needed to keep my
day job and take on higher positions that paid well. Years later,
“retirement” became the catalyst that turned my dreams of writing into a
reality. Self-publishing novels and poetry became a career, so to
speak, at a time when I was able to do it for my own personal
fulfillment and without financial concerns, as I had now left my day job
behind. No pressure, just a love of the art that I cherish on a daily
basis – and a retirement check! The rest is icing on the cake. </p>
<b>5. How has your background in a supervisory administrative role influenced your writing style or themes in your work? </b>
<p>I don’t see that my background in a supervisory administrative role
influenced my writing style or themes in my work all that much, but it
did contribute to helping me focus. What that job did do for me was
teach me how to organize my time, plan projects, delegate tasks, meet
deadlines, work under pressure and read people through daily
interaction. In that sense, my job provided me with the necessary tools
to simply sit down, plan my time, and concentrate on my writing in order
to develop plots, storylines and characters in contemporary fiction and
poetry. Organization is a huge part of writing. Without it, a writer
can be all over the place accomplishing little. So with my background in
a supervisory administrative role, I became more grounded on the job
and in life; allowing me to later pursue my writing goals with ease. </p>
<b>6. How do you come up with ideas for your blog posts and maintain a consistent flow of content? </b>
<p>Most of my blog posts are about fiction and poetry and include many
submissions to an online writing community at Spillwords Press
(Spillwords.com). Included on my blog are Newsletters promoting my
Amazon books and Written Word Media Promotions. I love to share photos
that accompany and/or complement my posts, as well – and there are many
miscellaneous posts on general topics personal to me, in order to inform
and start a conversation. Comments are always welcome. </p>
<b>7. Can you describe your creative process when it comes to writing
poetry? Do you have any specific rituals or habits that help you get
into a poetic mindset? </b>
<p>For me, poetry begins with just one word (and that is the theme of my
poetry at Spillwords Press). It all starts from just one word which
becomes one idea, one sentence, one story, one poem. That one word
originates from the daily interactions I have with people, places and
things (children’s laughter, meeting friends, romantic dinners, birds
flying, rainy days, summer nights, snowy winters, walks through the
park, visits to the cemetery, city traffic, tree-lined streets, cats and
dogs, beaches, seashells, gardens, aromas, etc.) - I’ve learned
writers view the world differently than most people. They see beyond
what is actually there, and turn those experiences into words and
poetry. </p>
<b>8. How did you approach the balance between form and expression in your poetry, "Treasure Chest of Words"? </b>
<p>Well poetry is as the title of my book states; a “Treasure Chest of
Words”. There is something there for everyone to enjoy and relate to.
Form and expression go hand in hand, and appear as the writer intends.
For me it is an individual approach through words and images. There is
Poetic License and the Writer’s choice of Form that may turn a simple
poem into a masterpiece. That is the hope of every writer or poet. </p>
<b>9. How do you approach creating authentic and relatable characters in your romance novels? </b>
<p>I create authentic and relatable characters in my romance novels by
using personality traits I’ve observed from family, friends, strangers
and even myself. I try to capture the emotions most people experience,
positive or negative, in their romantic relationships, and take that
reality to create fictional characters/lovers. I may recall romantic
experiences people have shared with me (or my own experiences) and build
on that by adding more of the raw emotion, reaction, physical
responses; more tears, joy, love, hate, jealousy, desire - and bring it
all to new heights so the reader can experience each character’s life
through my words and imagery. I strive to have the reader feel, connect
and engage with the romance novel as if they were a part of it. </p>
<b>10. In your opinion, why is it important to advocate for animal welfare and conservation? </b>
<p>In my opinion, animals are our most vulnerable (like children and the
elderly), and it is our humane responsibility to look after and protect
them; whether they are our loyal pets, strays, or animals in the wild. I
also believe we must stop stealing/destroying the natural habitat of
animals in the wild in order to build housing or construct businesses
and the like. I find that so heartbreaking. Many animals are being
pushed out into unfamiliar territory, which is so very dangerous for
them. As far as conservation, it is so important to save the rain
forests. They provide medicines, miracle cures, food, and clean the
atmosphere. I am not a big advocate of “climate change” or “global
warming” as it is presented by the media and others, because I feel that
much of that theory is truly based on the ever-changing tilt of the
earth’s axis as time passes (going towards or moving away from the sun).
</p>
<b>11. How do you envision your writing career evolving or expanding in the future, now that you have retired from your previous role? </b>
<p>Writing is my passion, and an extension of who I am as a person. It
brings me great joy and it truly is my “happy place” where I can unwind
and get the creative juices flowing. In retirement, I get to follow that
passion on my own terms and my own time. I will continue to write
fiction and poetry; add more blog posts to my blog; I will continue to
contribute to online writing communities; and I will continue to
self-publish as I share my works with the world. Hopefully, they will
sample it and come back for more. Writing will always be a part of me
and I would love for it to define who I am to others. </p>
<b>12. How do you handle writer's block or moments when inspiration feels
elusive? Are there any strategies or techniques you employ to overcome
these challenges?</b>
<p>I find writer’s block to be a nuisance, like a bad cold. It gets you
down for a few days, but you will be back to normal in no time. I’ve
been there many times, as most writers; but I just allow it to pass –
and it does. All writers will eventually find their way back to their
world of creativity or vice versa. It takes a bit of time and patience. I
find doing other things you enjoy while writer’s block visits you,
works out well; watch a movie, read a book, spend time with family and
friends, go shopping, go on social media – or just relax and do nothing.
Writer’s block is a very natural process that will always occur, like
the seasons. So let it happen and remember that “patience is a virtue”. </p>
<b>13. What advice would you give to others who are considering pursuing a
new career or passion after retiring from a long-term profession? </b>
<p>I would say go for it, but plan that new career or plan on following
your passion in advance of your retirement so, while you are leaving
your long-term profession which was a big part of your life for many
years, you will have something to go home to. That something, whether it
be a new career or a passion you love, will sustain you as you wake up
each day to the sound of your alarm clock, realizing you have nowhere to
go now that you retired. It is a strange feeling at first, but if you
have a “go to” plan, the transition into retirement will be easier and
the “go to “ plan will be your plan, on your time, and will fulfill you
throughout this next journey in life. It will be an extension of YOU.
Just be sure to seriously have it in the back of your mind before you
retire. You must have something to go home to or you will find yourself
in a rut, with no plan, floundering around with no direction… Just my
opinion. </p>
<b>14. Are you working on anything new, and if so, when can we expect it? </b>
<p>I am working on more poetry right now, and I hope to come out with a
second poetry book within a year or so. I share lots of poetry on my
blog and I contribute poetry pieces to the online writing community
website at Spillwords Press (Spillwords.com) under the theme of “…On
Poetry and Fiction”. </p>
<b>15. What do you think of AllAuthor and your experience with it so far? Got any feedback for us? </b>

I responded that I wanted to visit Sleepy Hollow in Tarrytown, New York, and look for "The Headless Horseman" (LOL)! - then I would love to have dinner at LaNonna's Restaurant on Kent Avenue, in Brooklyn, New York, for some really fine, delicious Italian food with a classy atmosphere as well (both inside and outside in the restaurant's front garden)... So that is how I spent my birthday; and I had a fabulous time thanks to my sweet, generous, handsome Son. </b></i></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><i><b>...Unfortunately, I never found the Headless Horseman during our search around the Old Dutch Church and inside the Sleepy Hollow Cemetery. However, I did find Author Washington Irving's grave and his family's gravesite. I then thought, perhaps, I can dig him up and possibly rewrite "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" together with him (since I am a writer), and since I was unable to locate the Headless Horseman. We could change the plot around a bit and come to some agreement on where the Headless Horseman may be right now in current times...Of course I am just joking and I absolutely loved "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" as Washington Irving wrote it. May he rest in eternal peace with all of the other great writers who have gone before him. </b></i></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><i><b>I learned Mr. Irving actually wrote this piece abroad, in England, although the setting took place in Sleepy Hollow, Tarrytown, New York, where Mr. Irving resided until his death on November 28, 1859. (He was born April 3, 1783 in New York, New York, into an affluent family; and was the favorite and last of 11 children.) <br /></b></i></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><i><b>(CHECK OUT THE PHOTOS OF OUR ADVENTURE, BELOW):</b></i></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><i><b></b></i></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;
