About Me
Literature and poetry were my constant companions growing up. I began writing fiction and poetry while in high school and college but put it all on the back-burner to start a family and a career. I began seriously writing poetry in 2005 and have never looked back. I have an extensive poetry collection, I belong to many poetry groups, attend readings, workshops, poetry festivals, and am a published poet.
