Beulah bolted through the back pasture as fast as her nine-year-old feet could run. She fell to her knees by the pond, choked with pain, the tears streamed down her cheeks. At last, she was far enough away from her family’s farm house, relatives and friends to release her torment. This place was her only [...]

Aunt Urola’s lavish jeweled necklaces were finally removed from my aunts’ necks. Now, they were all wearing hot blisters and bumpy rashes seared by the poison laced in each string. The red flush of their faces matched their flaring tempers. The men were [...]
My name is Anne Tyler Lord. I have been many things in my life, but right now, I only know I must write. I'm exploring new worlds and I don't like fences. I like to roam where I am led by my poetry, fiction and whatever else.
I have adopted the motto, "Don't Fence Me In," to remind myself to take risks, to do what is in my heart, and to expand my world when old habits take over.
I'm a genre-jumper. I write what inspires me, sometimes it is humor (often is), romance (a big one), suspense (always like to add in the mix), horror (but not too scary), animal stories (cat fanatic), slice of life (love family drama), scifi (for a change of pace), historical (1930s-60s intrigues me), spiritual (Buddhist influences), or memoirs (lotta stories to tell). Oh, and it would be nice to be published someday, too;))
What I Blog
In addition to fiction and poetry, I draw from my psychotherapy background, and life with cats & kids, to write posts to inspire writers to unleash their creativity. Read more about me here.
So, join me, you won't be sorry.
