My major influences were all the wonderful books I read to my own children years ago. It was a renewal of my own childhood and the magic that was I had created for myself. Reading to them ignited  the flame of magic that I knew as a child. I had an epiphany  in my life and started writing every day, I joined a writers group and forged forward into the abyss. I took baby steps and paid attention and learned all I could. I feel so inspired by all the wonderful people around me.

My poems were published many times over.
