Life is rich and full. Grasping entrails of jet streams-putting them on paper-is a mere glimmer of the richness and fullness of the writer's life. Emotions and images-so expansive-are never stated in the same manner twice, even by the same authors; I love the art of designing emotive consciousness in printed word. Thank you for sharing this moment.
In the backdrop of political fallout ~ having grown up in the Metropolitan Washington DC area ~ during the 60's and 70's (spending the 80's at the beach in Hawaii, California and Florida) ~ returning to DC for the onset of the 90's and remaining until today ~ a strong style of composition naturally ensued for me. When asked, I always state that writing swells like a ball of fire from my belly to my pen. While not everything I write is noteworthy (I've written some real yawners in emails to some very poor souls), work that I have completed that astonishes me, after an objective review, leaves me wondering where the words came from - are they really contained in my grey matter or are otherworldly sprites at play? What sport is this that captivates my mind? Truly writing is a gift that I'm thankful for - no matter the origin of the words I am blessed to deliver.
Being a Christian with a definitive libertine edge, it has been my fortune to have the capability to intensively research major religious and philosophical concepts as well as engage in extensive post-secondary course work and mentor with a twice removed Professor Emeritus. An ever present driver to my spirit, life has lent me the unique ability to find the inordinate along the path of living that has afforded me a myriad of genres to work from.
As a professional single mother of five talented children, who have acclimated and become successful as independent adults, an extemporaneous wisdom permeates my writs - or so I am told and these commentary's are a sincere hope.
Vanity is a stop gap to me that diverts continued learning and the truest blessings of success. Assertion of self, on the other hand, is a sure sign of trust of self. In speaking of my talents as "I" perceive them, please be assured vanity is not a part of my personal concept - and assertion is a quality I am happy to have finally achieved after so many years living life in subterfuge to the gale of others' storms as well as the cruelty that some people wield in the act of humanity.
As a writer and an individual, it is okay to say - "I like my work."
And, rest assured I will find common elements in your work as well!
Books I've Written: The Fourth Estate
The belief that the press was free and independent arose by the mid-nineteenth century when businessmen maintained the capitalist order. The mainstream press was then weakened somewhat and maintained a defense in the stability of the state, which later evolved to a society that admitted no conflict of class interest, conflict between ignorance and enlightenment, conflict between the individual and the state, and later provided the intellectual framework where the free press could be perceived as a watch dog of government and guardian of the people.
An Introduction to Enterprise Architecture
As a collaborative writer/editor to this textbook available through McGraw Hill publisher, I assisted Professor Bernard in the development of this textbook. While it is not an easy reader and I would have entertained additional alliterations to the text presentation and the case studies this book is intended for a federal employee market and is beyond adequate to meet that criteria. It was a pleasure to work with Scott the author of this textbook.
SANS Demystified
I performed the ghostwriting for this textbook excepting ten pages. This book serves up basic SAN concepts and is an excellent overview of the technology, delivering several listings of SAN and fiber channel terminology, as well as some discussion of how to plan a SAN implementation. If you are currently working in storage networking, the descriptions on fiber channel technology might be of interest, but this book is geared toward the novice rather than the experienced reader.
Introductions For Barnes and Noble: Human Personality and Its Survival of Bodily Death
Human Personality and Its Survival of Bodily Death summarizes a twenty-year history of investigations that the London Chapter of the Society for Psychical Research performed from 1882 through 1902. It provides a prominent record of organized scientific examination as referenced through paranormal and psychical phenomena. In an era where an understanding of the psyche was still nascent this work substantiates human faith supporting the human condition through the establishment of an existence of life after death, where eternal personalities deliver enlightened descriptions regarding their state of being after experiencing physical death.
Red Badge of Courage
One of the greatest war novels of all time, this is the story of the Civil War through the eyes of Henry Fleming, an ordinary farm boy turned soldier. Marks a departure from the traditional treatment of war in fiction as it captures the sights and sounds of war while creating the intricate inner world of Henry. Probes the personal reactions of unknown foot soldiers fighting unknown enemies. Henry Fleming is motivated not by courage or patriotism but by cowardice, fear, and finally egoism, and events are filtered through his consciousness.

Books
The Fourth Estate by Donna L. Quesinberry The phrase the Fourth Estate was originally a synonym for newspapers. With the dawn of radio, television, and news magazines the meaning broadened to ‘all of mass media.’ Edmund Burke (1729-97), son of a Dublin attorney and statesman, said “there were three Estates in Parliament, but in the Reporters Gallery yonder, there sat a Fourth Estate more important far than they all.”...
