I have been writing poetry and short stories since about age 13. Poetry always has been close to my heart. My influences are diverse, including novelists, poets, singers, songwriters; among those are Edgar Allan Poe, Roger Waters, Alan Parsons, William Shakespeare, Ken Follett and John Steinbeck.
Some of my poetry is rather dark. The majority of my poetry has a romantic tint. I love playing with the acrostic formats and sonnet formats.
Birth Place: Springfield, TN US
Accomplishments: Published my first poetry anthology, "Whispers in the Wake"
