Currently working on “Maple Leaf: Stage 1.” This is a project that leaves me feeling incredibly hopeful about the world and life in general. It’s much lighter than what I usually go for and it makes me feel as though I’ve in someway been carried back to a more innocent time.
Nadia–a girl with a secret past she’s trying to forget.
Bran–incredibly poor, he has big dreams for a much better future.
Winter–she never thought she would have to get over her first love.
Jason–all he’d ever wanted was a family; a group of people that would love him.
Freya–she’s always gotten her own way, and she’s not going to let that change now.
Benjamin–he was just doing a favor; he never expected for things to go so wrong.
Tia–being kidnapped was the most terrifying experience she’s ever had. She just wished it was over already.
I have lived my entire life surrounded by maple trees. And at every time of year, I have been attracted to the beautiful branches and leaves. It is a never ending sense of fascination to me, and that’s what the characters of “Maple Leaf” feel: Fascination for life and for each other as they are clustered together for a short length of time. Then, as they age, eventually each leaf is sent fluttering to the ground alone.
I just thought it was a beautiful idea and working on this project has made me very happy. “Maple Leaf” is my panacea; siphoning out all my negativity and leaving only a pleasant serenity behind.
I find myself smiling and laughing more, and that is something I want to share with the rest of the world. I hope that everyone that reads “Maple Leaf” will experience the same happiness that writing it has given me.
~Much love to you all!
