: About Me

Hi! I'm a 41 years old and currently reside in  St. Louis, MO.  I am a mother and a grandmother.  I grew up in small town in Northern Illinois; went to college in Iowa; and am currently in law school.

I have no formal training or experience with writing other than a fantastic high school English teacher, thank you Mr. Harmston. I write from my experiences and my heart. My current poetry works seems to be a reflection of the relationship I am now ending.  This relationship has been one saturated with dishonesty, manipulation and infidelity from the very start and has consumed the last 10 years of my life.  I believe it is said nearly every poet has a "dark" period and this truly would have to be identified as mine.  I am thankfully leaving this relationship and moving on with the rest of my life as they say.

I sincerely hope you enjoy reading my articles. Stop by often as I'm constantly striving to add to my work. Take care and I hope you have a great day!
