Summary:
MEL
My lifelong dreams never included falling in love. Graduating top of the class, going to college somewhere far away and starting a life in a place where my alcoholic mother could never find me were the first three goals on my list. Then the unexpected auto accident with Mother, after her regular doses of vodka, altered all of that. With her gone, my life and my perspective changed forever.

Desperate to find Joanie so I could break free, I returned to my old school. The search led me to her, my Aphrodite, a familiar lost look in her soulful eyes. Fantasies of her forced reasoning from my mind. I had to meet her! Once fallen, would her love for me survive the ghostly secrets haunting us?

During the entire process of earning her BA and M.Ed, she never stopped writing and trying to be published. It was during this time that her first children's book No More Stinkbugs! was accepted for publication by Castle Keep Press. Many of her stories develop from nature.P.G. graduated college and began her career in education, another great world that offered real experiences to humor and delight through children's books.

While teaching, she discovered many great books for young people, such as The Watsons Go to Birmingham-1963, Maniac Magee, So. B. It and many more. She is a fan of Dean Koontz novels, too, and loves reading fantasy and paranormal books.

Excerpt:
"You want that? We could have that now, if we had some bread," she teased.
I couldn’t help myself, running over to her I grabbed her around the waist and
swung her playfully in a circle until she broke free, running a few paces before
my arms found her again and we fell over on the ground, rolling downhill the
opposite direction from the lake and out of view of the passersby.
She squealed as we rolled. I laughed, my deep voice contrasting her high
pitch.
She couldn't believe I tackled her, the surprise evident in her eyes, her
rounded mouth.
I couldn't believe I had either. But there we lay, side by side on our backs, our
hands barely touching, laughing and huffing, trying to catch our breath, staring at
the blue sky through the branches of trees above us.
"Where did you come from?" she joked.
"I could ask the same of you," I rolled onto one elbow, bracing my head with
my hand so I could see her perfectly flushed cheeks.
