Award Presentation for "Best Kept Secret"


Congratulations to Nora!!


Excerpts from Freeborn

"I had gone to bed with my mother on my mind.  I wondered what had happened to her to make her put down her writing.  I’d searched the name Nora Rivers, and found a lot of postings on her work.  I searched and read for hours about the shooting star she had been.  Her words were like walls; they didn’t go away easily.  Even if you’d break them down, you would have to carry them away.  She spoke of things in unperceived ways.  It was not for them who had not been shaken.  Surely, if they’d approached her thoughts, they would have been crushed.  As I sat with my back up against my head board considering the moments that had exposed my mother in a foreign light, I realized that her words had helped to earn me the thicker skin I knew for sure I’d awakened with."

Introduction to Freeborn

The Decks and the Road Book 1- Freeborn Introduction “You have not seen your life, until you’ve seen a circle.” In life we take the hands we are dealt, and hit the road.  Sometimes the deck makes us a slave, and other times, the road wears us down.  Then, every now and again we get a glimpse of the Freeborn ; the beauty that is born at the round-about.  It’s a fragile beauty; a beauty that can be easily seen but not understood.  It’s the beauty you hope will be with you forever.  But, too bad; it was born free.  It comes, it harnesses the wind, it creates a line in the sky, and then, it’s gone.  The freeborn is not for the aspirational.  It’s useless to aspire to.  It’s not up to us who breathe, but it’s decided by the one who gives breath.  The generations could not purge itself to exist this way; nor could traditions.  It’s the resting of a hand—the touch of destiny; and boy is it sure to be victimized.  Yet, nev...
