About

I have held a management position in the hospitality industry for the last eleven years and to some degree,  I attribute my writing ability to convey a thought ,my edge.   Through it, I am empowered to communication with people far beyond my touch.  The hospitality field, has blessed me with an endless array of characters and believe me, if given the opportunity everyone has a story to tell rich in details, covering everything from family life to foreign travel.

Thinking back I recall how letters excited me, because I knew they would connect together to create words and words made books, like the ones may parents and grandparents read to me.  Besides I’m terrible at drawing.  

Personally I find writing to be my refuge from everyday life.  Sometimes  I merely  take  a character and build them a world … its like playing God, but other characters have a drive of their own, and its a matter of tuning in to hear what they have to say.  When this occurs, I found writing more like reading because I can’t wait to get to the computer to find out what comes next.

Description

<p>Richard II found himself under siege not once, but twice in his minority. Crowned king at age ten, he was only fourteen when the Peasants' Revolt terrorized London. But he proved himself every bit the Plantagenet successor, facing Wat Tyler and the rebels when all seemed lost. Alas, his triumph was short-lived, and for the next ten years he struggled to assert himself against his uncles and increasingly hostile nobles. Just like in the days of his great-grandfather Edward II, vengeful magnates strove to separate him from his friends and advisors, and even threatened to depose him if he refused to do their bidding. The Lords Appellant, as they came to be known, purged the royal household with the help of the Merciless Parliament. They murdered his closest allies, leaving the King alone and defenseless. He would never forget his humiliation at the hands of his subjects. Richard's inability to protect his adherents would haunt him for the rest of his life, and he vowed that next time, retribution would be his.</p>
