Hi, My name is Maria and I am a busy mother to three beautiful children.  My quiet time is spent reading rather than watching repeats on tv mainly because I think books give you a richer picture than a show. I don't really know if I will ever post a story on here. I'm not sure if I am brave enough for that. But I applaud everyone who is willing to do so. If you have a story or poem you want me to read, let me know. I pretty much read any style or type of writing. If you truly want me to comment on your work I am happy to tell you what I think. I can be brutally honest though so fair warning. I will only submit a comment without being asked if I am found captured in one way or another by a story. So with that said ... if anyone even reads this ... on to my reading. :)
