New Year, New Goals, Same 'ol Me

New Year, New Goals, Same ‘ol Me

Last year was a colossal mess for the majority of the world. My heart goes out to everyone who had experienced the loss of a loved one, job, and anything else taken due to the pandemic. It’s been a long journey and unfortunately it isn’t over. There have been some good things to come out of the year for me, thankfully. The most important being that I published my first and second book. It amazes…

Memoirs of Despair and the Smiles That Hide Them

Memoirs of Despair and the Smiles That Hide Them

The final review of my poetry book will be complete by 8-12-2020. This is very exciting and scary. Some of my thoughts and ideas are finally going to be with whomever is interested (fingers crossed EVERYONE is interested!). I’ve been talking to my friends and family about publishing for over 10 years. Saying that sounds crazy to me. I’ve spent 10+ years trying to write a book off and on, written…

The Stories I Write...

The Stories I Write...ones you may enjoy!!!

I am a multi-genre author. For those who aren’t writers, it is just as it says, I write stories of different genres. The first story I’ve written was intended to be a stand alone book. I read Twilight and thought to myself, I can do that, but better. I started writing a story about a girl who I thought would have some sort of power but I didn’t know what it was going to be. She was going to have…

Upcoming Book Release

Upcoming Book Release! Click to find out more.

In the next two weeks I will be publishing my first poetry book. I’ve been writing poetry since I was in grade school. It’s been my therapy, it’s been my happy place, it’s been a game between me and my childhood friend. I’ve taken my favorite poems over the past five years and compiled them into a collection, telling a story that I believe will be relatable.

What will you find within the book?

My Truth In Self-Publishing!

My Truth In Self-Publishing! This is the process I took and the cost I wasn't expecting.

My expectations:

The thought of self publishing was looming over me for the past five years. I planned on self publishing my first completed novel five years ago and thought that the hard part of the task was over. I believed that I would be able to find a free place to sell my book (such as Amazon) and there were minimal costs associated with the process. For sure, no more than a few hundred…

Finding the Spark in Writing:

Finding the Spark in Writing:

Amidst the Madness of the World

It’s hard to focus on my goals with all that the world has been facing in this year. In the beginning, felt that this year would open a lot of doors that I couldn’t seem to find. In recent months, I’ve tried hard to push pass the news and social media, honing in on my craft, only I found myself in a cycle of spinning wheels on a stationary bike. My creativity…

Future Love Poem

The future love poem is all about things yet to happen

When I meet you, a new line will be written

When I hear your voice, the words will turn into song

When I feel your touch, the stanzas will stand in attention like hairs on arms

Sending messages in the form of chills

To my heart that will be pumped through my veins to my brain

My mind will recognize you as the one this poem…

The Magician

I am a King

I am glorious

I am everything you’re not

I am idolized

I am envied

I am full of wonder

Crowds gather to watch

Hanging by the edge of their seats

They gaze upon my greatness wishing to know my secrets

When I close my eyes I transform into a magical being

Colors fly at me and songs are heard

I am even dazzled by my show

I grow ten feet tall and…
