Where did Pathy come from?

                I have been accused of being a story teller since I was in elementary school back in the fifties at Kanawha Elementary School in Charleston, West Virginia.
               The neighborhood where I grew up in was inhabited by teachers, principals, accountants, factory workers, salesmen, and of course, children. I learned early that you had to be creative when surrounded at home by the very teachers you faced at school each school day. After all, they could walk a few steps down the street and speak to your parents at any time they wished. Usually they only did this when you had misbehaved. So that is where I began to use my talents and I have been honing them even sharper since. This doesn't imply that I tell lies, it hints at my creative imagination.

              Pathy's Violin is the result of childhood experiences, dreams, friends and my imagination. Dreams, philosophies, and music. I had always wondered if I could find a way to put it all together, I believe that I have.

              Pathy is a young gifted musician. Her instrument is the violin. Her future is almost for certain until events change everything. It all begins with the death of her grandfather. Shortly thereafter, Pathy's life as she knows it, spirals out of her control. What seems like an ordinary believable tale gradually draws you, the reader, into a world of unheard of possibilities.

              Pathy's journey teases the mind with the possibilities of the unknown. What is life? What is death? What is time?
              Where do the answers come from? If you entertain the idea for a few hours that anything is possible, then you just may want to take this journey with Pathy.

             Pathy's Violin is the first book in a series. I realized early in her journey that one book would not do her justice.
