When I was 13 years old, I began writing poetry after being inspired by the poetry of J.R.R. Tolkien. The same year, I had my first poem published in the high school newspaper. This led to my lifelong love of the printed word, poetry, and publishing. I have given voice to many Christian authors through the "Book Beat" section on the ChristianActivities.com website. Now I am promoting my own book, "How to Promote Your Book on a Shoestring Budget." I am also available to speak at conventions about book promoting on a tight budget. Interests: literature, hiking, photography, collecting, music, poetry, hiking, am active at Mayberry events across the country and have too many other hobbies to list!

Published in many poetry anthologies, newsletters, and journals
Various "Editor's Choice" awards for poetry
