Sally crumpled to the floor, heartbroken and spotted the leather case holding the tintype photograph her father had always carried of her. It sat forgotten on the lowest stair. He had purposely left every memory of her behind.
She pulled her knees up to her chin and began to cry. Though tears fell, they did not exist. She was nothing more than a lost specter. A lonely spirit. A ghost. Fated to drift within the shadows and lose herself in the house. The Sparrow House.
It would be hers for all eternity.

Nothing can compare to the exhilaration of discovering, at last, a mode of release for the imagination. Mine came, after years of struggling to visualize my creativity, in the form of the written word. I found myself with my nose constantly in a book, absorbing the life of the characters and the beauty of the setting. It was intoxicating, to say the least, and the only thing I knew was that I wanted to give writing a shot, and take the thousands of characters and storylines in my head and put them down on paper and form them into something real and compelling.
In truth, I’m just a girl from a small town north of Los Angeles with an imagination for days and thank goodness a keyboard at my fingertips. And even though my husband thinks I’m a nerd and my mom is undoubtedly my biggest fan, at the end of the day I’m loving life and enjoying giving breath to the characters living in my heart and sharing with others all of the creativity I can harness.
I believe in true love and I’ve always believed in happy endings. And that is just the beginning of the story.
