I have a notebook full of poetry from my teenage years that will never see the light of day. Now I have a computer, and I'm an adult, so I save all my poems in Word files. Every one of them gets copyrighted, but not all of them will feel the weight of a reader's eyes. I call them my Secret Files. Not so secret now, I guess.
Some of my favorite authors are: Lucy Maud Montgomery (She wrote some of the most poetic text I've ever read!), Janet Evanovich, Anne Rice, Stephanie Meyer, Laurell K. Hamilton, J.K. Rowling, Robin Cook, John Saul, Johanna Lindsey, Betrice Small, Tess Gerritsen, Jeffery Deaver, James Rollins, Michael Palmer, Laura Ingalls Wilder, and Louisa May Alcott.
An Interlude
Have those eyes studied me in depth?
If so...you didn't see me
Now close them, yes, closed they're kept
No peeking...don't you agree?
Have those lips touched mine before?
If so...it wasn't memorable
But melt your kisses, puncture my core
Not bad...your efforts are commendable
Have those hands explored me yet?
If so...I didn't notice
Now let them wander; I'm no threat
That's right...remove my bodice
Have you done this one time previous?
At this part...you are skilled
The other servants will be envious...
Knowing the position is filled

Sheila Roy's website has a slideshow of her books, an author bio - complete with pictures of her 4 mini-Dachshunds, book excerpts, articles, short stories, poetry, professional reviews, links, and a synopsis of each release.
Accomplishments: ** I earned my 2nd degree black belt (Nidan) in Kenpo karate on December 9, 1995. This rank has been valuable to me as a writer; I continue to use my 2nd degree in a literary sense. Miranda, the main character in my Just Deserts Series, is proof positive of those skills.
