How I Got Here
I began writing as an angst-ridden teen trying to manage life and long-distance relationships, so you can guess the sort of poetry that came from my pen. Most of that is now—thankfully—long lost to the mists of time. Life happened, career, family... the works. Fast forward a few decades, and I found myself with time on my hands and a thought in my head. This is not a good thing for me, as I also had an idea. Poetry once again began to flow, and I began on my Book. The first in a series. The rest, as they say, is not just history, but also the way to things yet to be.
