Deep in the Heart of Texas |
Lifelong learner with an obsession for reading & collecting books. Growing up, I wrote often. A few items were published in Readers Digest, Chicken Soup for the Soul, etc. Began reading & writing more poetry as I grew into adulthood. Suddenly, the light came on and my soul vibrated with joy. Now on a quest to improve my skills. I take pleasure in learning & experimenting with new styles. I just published my first book of poetry. My newest project is a children's book. |
Poetry- it stirs the fire in my soul. Also, the occasional article or short story to amuse and/or educate. |
Eclectic |
