Interviews

Published in InD'tale magazine!

August 19, 2014
Sweet! One of my stories was featured in InD'tale Magazine on page 40 in the August 2014 issue - I had a lot of fun writing it and it's such a sweet, and hilarious, tale about my family. 

Yes! That's my ad on there too! Unfortunately it's missing the 2014 Finalist and Honorable Mention for Best Cover from the RONE awards. Oh well...

Definitely take the time to visit their website if you can, there's loads of fun stuff on it: http://www.indtale.com/

The Vampire Diaries

August 16, 2014


Okay. So I've gotten hooked onto a new series recently.  I just happened to be browsing for some cool stuff on Netflix that was closed captioned and stumbled upon The Vampire Diaries. Now, I was initially wary of this series thinking that it was like True Blood or Twilight. Boy, was I wrong. It totally sucked me in from the beginning. Yes, that was a deliberate pun.

What did it? Aside from the supremely good looking and talented cast, the storyline about two brothers and the cheeky one-liners...

Changes

August 16, 2014
You may have already noticed changes happening to this website.  Aside from updating my books to feature awards they've won, I've also changed "The Chronicles" page to "My Thoughts" which seems more accurate. This page is essentially like a journal. While it may seem a bit personal at times, I felt it was necessary to include it since my trilogy series is based on my life growing up with a hearing loss. I wanted to educate people on what it's like being hearing impaired and show the im...

Be kind to yourself

August 16, 2014



Not everyone is open to be being completely honest or forthright about their innermost thoughts or feelings.  It's not easy to reveal that side to others.  That's what friends and family are for, to lend an ear or hug when they need it most. It's better than shrouding yourself in darkness which can trigger a downfall that's hard to come back from. Give yourself a break and treat your body and mind to the kindness it deserves.

In this day and age, we are under an enormous amount of stress and ...

Perception

August 14, 2014




Robin Williams death has certainly opened eyes around the world. Not only has he brought laughter into our lives, he still continues to inspire us by showing us the importance of staying in touch with each other. He is still teaching us that we need to find ways of reaching out to those that need help, even if it means just listening to them or giving them a hug.

Mental illness, including depression, is not an easy topic to discuss and it's not clearly understood by most people. It's not unti...

John Barrowman goes Deaf for a day

August 11, 2014


Recently, actor John Barrowman, tackled the task of going Deaf for a day to learn what's it like to live in a world of silence. He was shocked to discover just how challenging it proved to be which left him feeling utterly exhausted by the end of the day. 

I'm absolutely thrilled that he chose to give this a try, most people would wimp out at this opportunity for fear of being mocked or teased by their friends, peers or family members.  Even though their hearts may be in the right place, they...

10 Hilarious things people say to the Deaf and Hard of Hearing

May 28, 2014

Normally I don't post other people blogs like this, but this one totally made my day! I was laughing so hard that tears were running down my face.  It's simply hilarious and an honest reflection of things people often say to the Deaf and Hard of Hearing. It happens ALL the time. Plus, there are superbly funny pics of Captain Picard illustrating those comments.

LOVE this! > http://www.withalittlemoxie.com/blog/10-dumb-things-hearing-say-deaf/
