Home+Away / Pictures and scenes that inspired and are referred to in the story

web hosting / Promotional material for reference

Truth+Lies / My current WIP. Images will be added as they occur.....

Red+Blue / Snapshots of what went into writing the story.

Caught / These are the photos that inspired me or the things that set the framework for my Dreamspinner novella "Caught".
