My favorite books: Anything that holds me enthralled. I love to be entertained, to be educated, to be surprised, and above all to fall in love for the story. I love characters that climb into my mind and claim it; I love intrigue that transport me to a magical place. I love being so moved that the story takes my breath away and I become caught in its glorious words. Elizabeth T.

When I was Young
Back when time wasn’t a worry, I had plenty ahead; lovely songs to be sung, and great books to be read… when I was young.
The years sped by, I took them in stride; the count didn’t matter, I simply basked in the ride… when I was young.
Life rushed on, my days filled with commonplace hours; nights brought new adventures and thrilling powers… when I was young.
The years piled up, but always in denial, I blithely waved them away; though lurking in the shadows, quietly awaiting, stood my fateful day… even then, I thought I was still young.
The shattering doom came on a rush with the wind; its breath of havoc gathered in a spin. Who could that person staring back at me be? The Me I had known I now couldn’t see. To my fearful dread, the mirror delivered a woeful truth: time had boldly walked away with my youth.
One might presume I’ve been caught in life’s inevitable snare, pinioned by bands of formidable steel. Yet, I have an ace in the hole—a mind if you will; active and questing, impervious to intrusion; tethered to its grand illusion, chanting aloud, lost in song, here’s cheers for attitude... I am still young.
Hello, it's been a while since I've been on this site; forgotten how much it delights my eyes and soul. Am in another novel, and these characters stir my mind just as Darcie and Wa`si did in my book, The long Night Moon. It seems when a story comes into my head, I'm really cornered into what I write, and even as my words spread across the pages, they are there only as long as my 'new family' likes what I've said. When I sit down to write, I have a vague idea where I'm headed, I have the bones in a grid, yet my characters dictate where I put the bones...and isn't that grand; my writng then comes to me like I'm reading a new book, and I become oblivious to anything or anyone around me.
It has been a while since I have been here, but it feels like HOME! AND I do love this music. Thanks to all those who have been in touch, I will be a better blogger soon. Elizabeth <:)
