A small snippet from my book - enjoy!!

Talking to yourself is an endeavor that may worry those around you, but I find comfort in hearing a voice of reason coming out of the chaos that surrounds me now. It’s going to be cold tonight. I can tell by the crisp air that blows softly against my bare white skin chilling me nearly to the bone; my curly red hair in tangles flying freely into my eyes. And by how fast the clouds are moving across the horizon. They head north as fast as cars on the freeway at a distance looking sharply like birds in formation as they make their escape. I sit quietly reflecting on my days watching the day’s end over the ocean at the end of the avenue where the street ends and the access ramp begins. The colors are breathtaking as always; the purples, reds and gold’s reflecting off the water which resembles liquid silver waving softly at the sand. All of this beauty, some eternal battle between fire and water where water triumphs now only to be challenged again in the morning. I glance back down the avenue looking for him though I know he will not show for many more hours to come. I pull my arms as far into my thin t-shirt as I can in an attempt to warm myself with my own heat. I cannot get him out of my mind. His quiet wisdom almost ancient and the easy way you feel when he is around. There is something more to him that meets the eyes, this I am sure of. As sure as I am that he senses me as well, for what I truly am. A sixth sense is what they call it, only my gifts go much farther than simple hunches. I know who people are deep inside, even if they do not know themselves. Those who are close enough to me to be aware say that it’s a gift from god, but the things most do not realize is it's a curse as well. To know the great things that people are capable of and know they will not live to be this way is a tragedy. Almost as much of a tragedy as finding true evil in a child, that is more terrifying than most nightmares one can imagine. I have met my fair share of both. But, one of him I have never.
