I feel in love with writing by reading poetry.  I thought it was so cool how you could express your self, describe an emotion, create a beautiful scene and eventually tell a story through poetry.   It was't until I tried to get my poetry published that I pushed myself to write beyond that.  I learned since I wasn't a well known poet that my poetry was going to be hard to market and promote.  Taking that all in and not feeling defeated, I pushed myself as a writer and began to expand on a short story that I had written.  That short story turned out to be my first novel, Dreamtini, which was originally published in 2007. When I wrote Dreamtini, I had began the follow-up as well.  As I was promoting Dreamtini, I got pregnant and turned my focus on becoming a new mom. This time turned out to be a 'mommy hiatus', I had two boys two years apart.  I must say that I never stopped writing during this hiatus. In 2018 I re-released Dreamtin and PIeces Of Me which includes some of the original poems that I wanted published.  I followed Pieces Of Me with Simply Me that also included orginal and newer poems.  I called this collection Intimately Me. I am so happy to be back!!!!
