I am the whisper in the dark. I am the dreamer, reaching for the stars. My first love: Poetry. I am a wife & Mother of three children, a Congo African Grey Parrot, two dogs, and 4 cats. My second love: Animals. I write to fill a need. It flows from my head to my fingertips effortlessly when I am graced with inspiration. I write about many topics, some bright, some dim, some dark, and a few passionate. I express through words, the world around me as I see and feel it. I live a beautiful early 1900's home in rural Indiana. The super hero I wanted to be: Wonder Woman. I wanted to save the world! My pre-teen/teen inspiration: Marilyn Monroe.
