The second is a message to and for America, our country, your land and my land: A message of sacrifice, a message for freedom, a message for those who have served in the past, presently serve or will serve our military forces in the future. A grave price is being paid every moment of every day of the year for all the freedom America has to offer. Let us not forget those who have fought or are fighting for our nation; they are the epitome of the human spirit called freedom! Her most recent book release, Awakenings from Then ‘til Now (2013), is reflective of historical poetry.
How/why did you
start to write?
Through
the years leading up to the publication of my first book in 2004, I never
envisioned myself as a writer. I was a mathematician, an educator, content on
teaching and working in various arenas with youth in middle and high school.
Yet, in a way, that is where it started: creating curriculum that went outside
the basic equation into the realm of creativity. Have you ever been given a
poetic math challenge? My students were given just that: a challenge where
imagination reigned and creativity soared. As a result of that unusual
beginning, I am now on the verge of publishing my third book...WOW! Number
three! As I look back to my writing's inception, I realize more and more what a
gift I have been blessed to share with others. It comes by way of poetry: a way
of transcending the boundaries of conscious thought where, like my students,
imagination reigns and creativity soars.
How did you become
an author?
After
compiling my first manuscript (collection) of poetry, I begin investigating
various avenues to get my work published. I contacted a Christian publisher who
was interested in my writings and it was soon after that I signed a contract
for the publishing of my first book.
What was your first
published piece?
My first published
book is Echoes. This book of poetry
echoes from the heart inspired by life and God’s love that whisper of
yesterday.
Where was it
published?
I was
published by Xulon Press, Maitland, FL
How long ago?
2004
What inspires you?
I am
inspired by life, all that is around me, family, experiences, adventures,
nature.
