Transition to being a writer... I feel it now!

I have been chipping away on my book like a sculptor at a chunk of marble. To say that I am enjoying it immensely, would be an understatement!  

I am carving out my characters and molding my themes.  Using my artistic license, imagination and creativity but blending it with research and factual information.  

It feels surreal to finally be in "the groove" of the storyteller.  

Consequently, I have discovered that already one story is not enough!  I was struck by another inspiration for a narrative chronicle as I wrote this one. 

Unable to stop the words flowing from my fingers like quicksilver and I had to complete this short story.  It has taken me ages to get it presentable and I would like to invite you to have a little read...

I will caution you though, this is not a "nice" story, it is a "necessary" story.

It is Sharon's story. A teenage girl who found herself drowning in a situation that she did not expect and could not control.  There are adult themes and uncomfortable references that were essential to the telling of this tale.  

I am proud to put my name to it and look forward to hearing your feedback.
