Hi there, I am a published poetry author from Georgia, United States. I have been on an emotional and exciting journey in self-publishing my books and developing my blog sites since January of 2019. I started my self-publishing career late in life as a single mother as more important, throughout my early years, was in raising my children to adulthood. However, I did publish a poem in 2005 under a literary agency. I had a brief and emotional encounter on social media that prompted my spirit to put pen to paper again; thus, my Social Media Musings collection. My early poetry efforts entailed non-rhyming poems until I started a project that consisted of rhyming poetry, The Rhyme It Out Project! collection. Within that writing project I found two forms of poetry I really liked and formed my own form by combining the two forms, which lead to my third book of that project, Tervillazanelle. Mid year of 2019 I received an email notice to give permission to be a featured poet with a six-page spread in the Realistic International Poetry organization's magazine. That was an exciting and encouraging moment. You can still purchase that edition, The Valiant #4, on their website. Being a Christian my poetry took on the face of Christian emphases, leading to my Growing Strong in The Lord collection. Additionally, I wrote poems with a picture as their backdrop; thus, my Poetic Picture Dairy & My Written Thoughts book. That book includes my thoughts from my blog site at the time of posting those poems. Having been a struggling single mother, I'm very consciously aware that for some it may be a challenge to buy poetry books, so I decided to put my poems from my books into a two-book collection called My Faves. Being a rhyming poetry enthusiast and a Christian, I have two blogs, one for each endeavor. My other site is My Christian Muse. I am simply an older woman, Not old, that enjoys writing poetry and my thoughts/take of living as a Christian in this world we live today. Currently I am working on my memoirs book, as I have been told by those who have been there and or that know me, I have an awesome story/testimony to tell. I am transitioning into writing, although I will on occasion post poems on my poetry blog as I really enjoy writing and reading poetry. However, in the coming years I will be working on a Christian fiction novel that has been in my head for some 20 years, now. Stay tuned it's going to be a humdinger of a story. Hope you enjoy reading my poems and writings as much as I enjoy creating them. Now leaping into a New Creative Writing Adventure with the Lord by my side; I'm excited!
I do greatly appreciate you all’s attentiveness in my poet/writer adventures. Thank You!
