About Hyacinthe

At age five, when the nuns at St. Anthony's school gave me the key to unlock the magic of words, I started scribbling and I've never stopped. I've used whatever I could find when I have the fever to write - torn pieces of copybook paper, the backs of envelopes and my mother's grocery lists, the margins of old newspapers and magazines. I've always been enthralled by stories and the alchemy of authors's language - whether printed, spoken or heard. My Dad was a poet and my Mom a constant correspondent, so I figure I come by this love of language honestly. Words are powerful vehicles for human emotions, for forgiveness, inspiration and best of all, learning. I've got four (at least) works-in-progress. A non-fiction based on interviews with serving and retired police officers, called From Recruit to Chief of Police: In Their Own Words, a compilation of short stories, a completed first novel draft and two-thirds of the second novel in the series. So my mantra is...Write On!
