Thanks for stopping by to learn about me:)
I grew up in a house filled with books. I mean, floor-to-ceiling filled with books. My dad’s field of study was Anglo-Irish literature (written in English rather than Gaelic), and our house was often filled with Irish writers and poets as well as their books. I had no idea this wasn't normal, and that it was special.
I have always loved reading and stories and spent a lot of time as a kid daydreaming myself into the stories other people created for me. (Okay, they weren’t creating them for me specifically, but it often felt that way).

Five Tips for Perfecting Voice

Voice is often something that people new to writing struggle with, and most of us, at some point, have been told by an editor or agent or critique group that our “voice” needs to be stronger, but many early writers struggle with what this means in a practical sense. But even established writers can struggle with voice. Voice is simply the tone your fiction sets, and you want it to mirror as closel

Quotes by Sabrina Fedel (?)

“Funny that the people who aren’t doing the fighting are the most tired of it,” Evan said. “We never knew anything about people being sick of it, or protests, or people thinking we were the bad guys. All our news was censored. We thought everyone would be proud of us, like they are of our dads. We were out there, putting everything on the line every day because that’s what our country told us to do, under conditions that would make a saint afraid to look God in the face, and we were doing our best. I knew there were a few anti-war protests before I left, but I never expected it to be like this…”
