I'm a daughter, a sister, a mother, and a grandmother. Happily divorced, single to stay. But I'm here to say, one can survive heartbreak. It's not easy, extremely painful, but doable. In any case, life goes on. Oh, so often I've fantasized in my life about the many things I've wanted to do. While I may not get them all done, being a writer, I give them to my characters to do, and - hey... it is as good as done.
My world is at Amber Swann the place I hope to bring as a well-known publishing firm of quality IR literature. Yes, publishing is a major dream of mine, the one I'm working the hardest on. In my setting that up, I have completed quite a bit of writing to jump-start my experience in that. A trilogy under my belt, another one completed Aphrodisiac, I'm happy to say is now available as well. That's not all, I also have an ongoing, drama series called, The Beauty Of Man and Woman, better known by my readers as, Bomaw - you'll find them all at Amazon.com. Try the link if you wish to drop in there for a read.
So as you can see, I'm certainly working on making things happen.
Now, a bit about me...
BIO
Born in the USA. Greenville, Mississippi, then my life was in Chicago, Ill. Lived in Killeen, Texas for a few years, and then back to Chicago, and next Wisconsin for 12 or more years... and now, finally, my home is ??? stay tuned! I work at home now, and continue to build on that above dream! And if I play my cards right, perhaps one day, I'll find myself with a #1 best-seller! Time will tell!
Last but not least... I am working on Bomaw Volume 13 - which will be followed up by Saoirse - a historical surrounding the slavery of the Irish, Scot, and Yorkshiremen.
Stay tuned....

Wow,looks very much like a painting! And PLEEEESE can you share those lighting tips with us?(Maeve panting like a drooling dog here!) I like the atmosphere you created here too, just a crib, an open door and a light or two can say so much! Great job! Maeve

Outstanding image. Sometimes I have to refer to my spouse who has had some professional art training to have her critique my lighting and composition.

lovely lighting, the crib looks a bit flat. Good luck!

Well this is really something different for you, as you said and I like it very much. I agree that it looks like a painting and a painting would not necessarily have a 3-D look to it, so it might appear to some as flat, but I believe that you've done a great job.....cudo's to your hubby for the lessons.....when can I borrow him? LOL kidding, kidding.

Very haunting! It borders just on the edge of scary, but leans just into the realm of sorrow and the merciless passing of time. It feels like an old room no longer used, either from loss or the kids are gone, but it strikes deep into the heart. Very moving, Mercedes. Be proud! The lighting is fantastic! Your husband really knows his stuff. You nailed it, especially with the window shadow. :)

Funny you should sat that, we're now getting ready to invest in a poster printer, or rather an A2 printer. They're very costly, but worth it. Another one of hubbies ideas. This way, we can decorate our walls with OUR artwork. All that would be needed doing - is making the frames, which is easy enough, because he's also a carpenter. Imagine the gifts one could give of their own artwork framed and ready to go?

You've taken a simple object and created a fantastic piece of art with your lights and postwork-excellent
