Most of all I've felt my whole life like I have too write. I'm not so sure if what I have to say will influence others. But I hope so, my poems are all from the Lord, and for his Glory. My dad and mom have always motivated me to write. I've had many influences, Edgar Allen Poe, Helen Stiener Rice, Frank Peretti, Tim LaHaye, and Jennings, I have had some influences here at the Den, Trask is an inspiration to write how I feel, nothing is more incouraging then the fellow authors reviews. And found that I have a desire to share my words with you and anyone willing to share with me. Words are what formed the world and words have power to change lives.

I have won many different awards from the various places I have publishes my poems,Quill Books also poetry.com and The Sierra Journal, also Noble House. And Christain women 2000. I have won the poet of the year award four times, and the silver cup, including the sound of poetry award five times.All I have is papers to prove it. But these poems have purpose, to share Jesus with you. And his Love.

I have to say I want to publish a book before I die or maybe even paint a picture that someone loves. I'm a photographer and artist as well as a poet. I paint with all mediums and I love it. My art work is going in the art show as well as my poems in the Journal this March 2006. Sierra College. I also have poems on my journals at aol and in poetry.com mostly, I write to give God the Glory.
