About me

"Never deny yourself what you truly deserve."

I'm celebrating my fourth year with Helium. I have written almost 2000 articles, essays and poems for online viewing. Through hard work, determination and great timing, my writings are among the most searched on the internet.

Also, my Detective Everywoman novel series will be out late spring/early summer. The first two books, "I Will" and "Animals", will be released on the same day. Radio promos and a mini book tour will follow.

Contact me on here, Facebook or Twitter (ido4me_period) for updates.
