Hi Readers, I am currently in Orlando and although the weather has been mostly nice and warm we have had some cold and rainy days. Today however is warm and as I sit on the balcony of my third floor condo and look out onto the miniature crazy golf course below and the lake beyond that, I am thankful for my life, liberty and love. I went to a wedding on Saturday at the Gaylord Palms and I tell you, it was beautiful, just like in the movies. The couple looked so in love and the elegant ceremony was a reflection of this love. The groom wore military whites and his groomsmen were all dressed the same and held swords for the couple to walk under after the ceremony. The whole thing brought tears to my eyes and sent a river of gratitude to God that I was here to celebrate with the couple Anthonia and Marlow, and their families.

What possessed them to drink a concoction of stolen hospital drugs mixed with chemicals, the mixture so strong that it dissolved their innards in minutes? They died in so much pain – their dead faces were literally gargoyle in agony as blood oozed out of their orifices.” During my research for the book U Murder U (Suicide), I read so many stories where people felt hopeless and unloved which really saddened me. Although U Murder U (Suicide) is a fictional thriller it is a story that so many people can relate to because of the various characters in the book. I write stories I hope people will read and come away with many things, one thing being the knowledge that they are loved.
