I have loved reading since I was able to do so. I have thrown myself headlong into stories and they have brought me deep joy and lasting comfort and happiness. Since 2009 I have written about what I have read at my blog https://dancingwithskeltons.blogspot.com. I started to write because there was a story I wanted to tell; a story I had not yet read anywhere else. I wrote the story and put it aside, but it was unfinished business and did not rest easy.

Finally, I started again and this time the story was the one I wanted to tell, and it developed into a trilogy, The Spoils of War, Bottle Born Blues is the first part.
