All I want for Christmas....
Though we've vowed to take it easy this gift season, there's still been a lot of talk in my house lately about wish lists. My husband wants camping and hiking gear. My son wants a new Xbox and games. My daughter wants a laptop (not a chance) and socks (this I can handle).
Me? Aside from what my mom has always wished for -- "I just want us all to be together as a family" -- my needs and wants are very simple.
10. Towels to be used more than once.
9. Shoes that put themselves away.
8. I want my children to like the same foods, particularly fruits and vegetables.
7. A self-filling dishwasher.
6. I want my questions to get answers of more than one syllable.
5. Chores to be completed without having to say it twice.
4. I want to remember everything I thought I would never forget about my kids.
3. More time in the day.
2. Peace and understanding.
1. An iPhone.

I am a writer with many stories of friendship, hope, and romance; dramatic at times and always delightful.
I need a sponsor, and dealing with the literary agents has become, far too complicated to continue.
Every time i have to go over the road to ear a living i have no time to write, if i could devote all my time to my craft i know i can produce, finish, wonderful stories; i have so many that i'm working on that it have proven impossible to simply stop writing, and just drive my truck for a living. You see, even if i stop writing, the inspiration never ceases, and therefore, that imagination never dies.
If there is anyone out there able and willing to invest in our future, and be part of something brilliant, i welcome that opportunity to present my idea—my stories.
Thank you, and best wishes.
