Danielle Hamilton wants nothing more than to be a Broadway dancer. At age 21 she moves to New York, accompanied by her sister Laura. But life in New York is nothing like Danielle imagined, and after countless auditions, she is still as unemployed as the day she arrived in the city. Then she meets Steve Savage. Steve is an ex-Broadway manager who disappeared off the scene after a car accident. He agrees to work with Danielle and to introduce her to the right people on Broadway. Danielle is thrilled that she finally is going to live her dream, but Laura suspects that he has a hidden agenda. And he does.
Writing has been a passion and an important outlet in my life. Born in Belgium, I lived in South Africa for fifteen years before moving to Toronto, Canada, where I now live. As they say, "life is a journey," and I try to use all of my varied experiences and exposure to diverse cultures to enrich my writing.
Another passion in my life is a deep love of animals. Cats are especially close to my heart, and I use my writing to bring awareness to their issues. Most importantly, I try to focus on the critical need to educate more people about the importance of neutering their pets, and encouraging support of local animal rescue organizations.
Earlier this year I released a book entitled, "Kitten Diaries." Both stories in "Kitten Diaries" are based on real cats and, although their humorous adventures are fanciful, both are based on a real life event. First there is "Chanel's Story" about the time when I adopted my wonderful cat, Chanel, at an animal shelter. This story is followed by "Queeny's Diary" and is about a kitten sent to spend time with family friends while her owners go on vacation. Fur flies when Queeny finds herself at the mercy of a household full of older cats.
I also have opinions and points of view that I like to share here on Helium. Networking with other writers, sharing ideas and stories has been an especially enriching experience.
