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....

Yeah, they sure will continue 'cause Ms. Keyes is doing the writing. Oh Oh! Another adventurous mystery brewing I see. The lighting in your image is spectacular. The dress and pose of your character in the shadow, magnificent. Your talent knows no bounds. Great image and bravo for the whetting of the whistle. I shall certainly be here to follow every step!!!!

He was supposed to be in the dark, but I just can't do totally dark, because I've seen images where dark was used and people thought it was too dark. sigh So I had to lighten the room up some in my post work. Thanks for your comments!

Wow this is awesome!!! I personally think the lighting is just right.

The lighting looks fine. I understand exactly what you mean about having wanted to make it darker but this does the trick just as good. Great composition here. That's not one of my normal compliments but as time passes it seems there are so few willing to go through the trouble of building a scene that tells a story as well as or complimenting words. You've always had that eye for detail. Bravo my friend!

Now isn't this just the most amazing little scene I have had the pleasure to view tonight. At first glance you almost miss all the little details in your work like the beautiful lighting job through the shutters and the smoke trails. Very nice one !

Wow, another interesting story that goes with yet another great work! Love the lighting and the signs outside the window, you can almost here the outside noise and feel the tension in Lord Wolfe. Beautiful girl, well done!

Totally cool! You know what I really like is the little details, the light from the monitor on the keyboard and the little wisps of smoke from the ashtray. They really add depth. Nice light work with the blinds, too. The whole atmosphere captures your story. Yay, the old Mercedes is back! giggle I'm in class right now, using the school computer to check out Rendo! I'm a bad girl. :)
