Finalist for the 2009 Contest Divas Tiara Award, Author with the Most Titles

I was a finalist for the 2009 Contest Diva Tiara Awards, Author with the Most Titles Category. This was for Aliya Arabesque, The Loving of Lord Loxley, and Deus ex Nosferatu all having been finalists in writing contests during 2009. I didn't win the tiara, but I was a finalist. Am I now an official contest diva? I suppose so. Wow!

Favorite Quotations

What lies behind us, and what lies before us, are tiny matters compared to what lies within us. Ralph Waldo Emerson

Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seared with scars. Kahlil Gilbran

There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are messengers of overwhelming grief...and unspeakable love. Washington Irving

We shall go on to the end. We shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be. We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender... Sir Winston Spencer-Churchill
