Brief Author Bio:

I first attempted NaNo in 2005 never expecting to win.
Now I'm a 3 time novelist and I can't get these crazy worlds out of my head.

This is my drug.

Synopsis: Echoes

Two versions of the same story.

Excerpt: Echoes

Sitting alone
In perfect silence,
Dreaming of windmills
Shaped like giants.
Think not of what is
But what could be,
I close my eyes
And start to see
The girl who watches me;
a careful stare,
Though I know
She isn't there.

Would that I
Could feel her skin
And know the dreams
She holds within,
For we all dream
Because we dare,
Even the girl
Who isn't there.

A gentle touch
Upon my ear
Soothes my heart,
Yet I fear
I'll remain always
Chasing shadows,
Longing for anything
To ease my woes
And lift the burden
That I bear:
I love a girl
Who isn't there.
