Sharing My Words
Sharing My Worlds
The romantic tragedy H.P. Lovecraft never got a chance to write.
The science-fiction comedy Daphne du Maurier always meant to share.
The lost episode of Scooby-Doo penned by Nicholas Sparks.
These are the worlds that haunt me. These are the worlds that thrill me. These are the worlds I want to share with you.
Worlds of fairy-tale castles, post-apocalyptic wedding ceremonies, and ghostly gothic moon manors. But also of high-school hallways, bubbling over with prom nervousness.
Worlds populated with gargoyle detectives, pelican-people, and bears who are nuns. But also with fractured families, helping each other through their grief.
Worlds fueled by unfiltered revenge, unusual desire, and untidy demises. But also by unabashed friendship, promising an eager and earnest compassion.
These are my worlds. There are my words.
Relax. Make yourself at home. Stay a while. My worlds always have room for one more.
