A deep appreciation for words and language was instilled in me from an early age. I adored being read to as a child, and was eager to learn how to read on my own. Strolling through the stacks of books in a library or book store brings me serenity and peace. Whether written or spoken, words possess an immense level of power. They can be used to communicate, educate, convince, and inspire. They can be beautifully linked together to create poetry and song lyrics. They can stimulate laughter or weeping. They have an independent strength on the page, but when read aloud, they are given life. I hope that my books, other writing pieces, audio books, and voice over work does all of the above and more. Words move me, and my wish is that mine do the same for you.
