Tell me about your latest book and what inspired you to write it?
Fox Light is a collection of short stories based on my experiences of something magical happening in my life. I saw my beloved dog’s blue, ethereal spirit rise from her body. I’ve had Beings hike with me, transparent though they were. I’ve had a connection to the workings of the earth that have lifted me to a different plane. I believe we all have these magical moments, if we are willing to let go of our preconceived notions about how things work. Too often we say, “that can’t be” or “it’s just a figment of your imagination” and the magic that presented itself disappears. I hope my book helps people be more aware of the magical moments in their own lives and revel in their bigger world.

About Us
Writers’ Connection is a community of writers, authors and publishing professionals created to connect existing, new and traditionally unpublished writers and authors with the guidance, support, education and resources required to write, publish and distribute a book. Our goal is to grow in to the largest network of writers and authors with book ideas and books to publish.
Authors gain access to information on traditional and self-publishing options, and may be contacted by legitimate literary agents and publishers seeking their specific work. Agents and publishers browse new, unpublished manuscript descriptions in targeted genres and directly contact the authors they are interested in publishing, providing detail specific submission guidelines for their organization. Select service providers advertise publishing-related services to writers and authors in need.
There are thousands of publishers in need of new stories every day. Unfortunately, there are also many clever publishing scams designed to profit at the expense of new authors unfamiliar with the business and process. Writers’ Connection was created to be a resource and community for first time authors and seasoned pros embarking on a publishing journey.
