my dens
Military for 40 years without ever joining. 17 yrs with dad and 23 with the ex. Europe, central and south America, and the great United States of America, have been my playground. The life of a daughter, wife, mother and now a 15 year divorcee of men who had dreams and daughters I no longer know. I lived dreams beyond anything I could have imagined. I just went with it and the ride was awesome, even if filled with challenges. Dreams of espionage and dangerous missions, families left behind .... Well that was them, yes and me, but my story is yet to be told. I wonder if I really have a dream, a story. Well I'm about to find out. I'm just gonna write..write here.That was then this is now.

I am just a college student, who would of never thought that she would be writing just random thoughts or opinions.
It has just become a way of life for me to express myself through writing and it is GREAT!
The ones who read have read my highs and my lows in my life and I THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart for taking time to read them
Thanks to those who read my pieces, as simple as they are :)

For a writer, I find myself at a loss of words when it comes to describing myself. I guess to sum it up: It's all relative. I have a biased view of who I am because..I am me. My one biggest fan. You just have to make your conclusions on who I am
Newark, NJ
Finding time to write has been tough, but it's too ingrained to stop now. The problem is going back to finish works I started three years ago while the shiny new thing jumps up and down and screams my name.
Anyway, I may not finish all of what I start to write, but I'm going to have fun trying. Thanks for stopping by, reading my stories and poems, and (maybe) leaving a comment (or TWO). Blessings all ways.

Some days are golden. Moments overwhelm you with beauty and light and make you feel you might explode. Other days are a dull grey, or black, or just empty, and you drift from moment to moment wondering what that fleeting, nameless sensation you feel about your heart is. It seems to me that too often feelings cannot catch up with thoughts, or perhaps it is the other way around, and what we feel cannot be put into coherent words or even thoughts, because it is the metaphysical and is not meant to be explained or analysed. Our lives are made up of moments and thoughts. This is a way to recording some of mine.

I am Zuzana, but I write under the pseudonym Maria Pelisek. You may know me as the author of the captivating book, "The Day I Packed for Heaven and When Death, Jesus, and I Met at the Crossroads."
I consider myself an ordinary girl, yet I have an extraordinary friend.
There was a time when I believed refusing chemotherapy and surviving was the most significant miracle of my life. But as I discovered, I was mistaken.
The true miracle lay in the empowering friendship that blossomed when I dedicated time to honestly knowing Him.
It all unfolded one serene Sunday afternoon. I earnestly implored God for a guiding light to conquer Death, and in a miraculous twist, He answered by presenting Himself as my guiding force.
Who would have thought that God is not just a distant idea, but a living presence among us?

I have been amused my entire life. I have also realized that I'm a "seeker of truth," which is often clouded within the swirling vapors of politics, religion and hogwash. My greatest joy is writing. My books, stories, observations, rants and on occasion, nonsense.
I hope to experience an epiphany of excellent enlightenment and new found wisdom in my elder years, if not, I will most likely just open a stall at the local flea market, sell collectible lunch boxes and drink beer. I do hope you will take time and indulge yourself in a few of my scripts and if you enjoy them, then I'm happy. If they are not to your taste, well then bite me.
Thanks......Charlie
CHARLTON, LONDON
I am an Irish writer and lecturer living in London who had my first work of fiction published in 2014. 'The Charlton Men', the first part of a trilogy set in South London, combines literary fiction with a love of football. Set in the historic surrounds of Greenwich and Charlton, the novel interweaves the rich heritage of the area's past with contemporary themes of social disenfranchisement and a search for meaning.
The book has done well so far in terms of sales and publicity but I am always keen to attract new readers. This platform is a showcase of some of my work, which I would rather share for free than sell on Kindle for example. I write not for profit but because of a love of stories and language, something that I have had all my life, from as early as I can remember.
Outside of writing and teaching I am interested in travel, music, film, football, craft beer, and photography. I also write articles for blogs, newspapers, and academic journals.
