1st Grace Awards, 1st Winter Rose Awards 2019 (Summer) 2nd Nexus Easter 2019 Nominations Award. What does 'tilting to the west' mean? It is the moment we cease to stand upright in who we are, even for a moment, a piece of ourselves for a day.. . a year . . . a lifetime. How? Perhaps a critical comment, gridlock on a life decision, an accident that shrouds you in mists of negativity, the ending of a relationship. No? It might be the death of a dream, personal isolation until you feel glacial; missing home or Mom. Many are battling in the war zone of chronic illness or disability until they don't remember 'Normal' or what 'Me' means. Others struggle to adapt to new roles, positions, or homes; Millions are mourning the emptiness-crater a person's absence has created in their daily lives. The poems within show "tilting" in its various forms, both literal and figurative. This collection includes poetry ranging from free verse to modern Japanese traditions (all written in English) including haiku, senryu, tanka, rengay, and haibun. Why free verse and haiku / Japanese forms? Free verse represents the years and stages while haiku expresses the snapshot moments. Cover Photo Credit: Shutterstock, Inc., Chekmarev Pavel

It's my world - my life as I deal with its troubles and strife, It's my tale - my story as I reach out always searching for the glory, The throne is my home and home is where the heart is, So I'm trying every day not to be heartless as I confess my confessions in these chapters like therapeutic therapy sessions, And I know firsthand that life isn't fair, And that comes full circle since my greatest fear is that I'll die and there'd be no one around to care. •First Place Winner in the 2019 Splash Poetry Awards (March edition) •First Place Winner in the Spring Metanoia Poetry Contest •First Place Winner in the 2019 Flavoured Awards •Second Place Winner in the 2018 Victory Awards •Third Place Winner in the 2019 Rosie Awards •Third Place Winner in the 2019 (The) Champ Awards

While being chased by her abusive boyfriend, Lyla turns the tables, shoving him into the path of an oncoming car. But rather than calling the police, she and her friend, Jack bury the body deep in the woods. Instead of finishing her senior year in peace, Lyla is horrified to discover that her dead ex has returned for revenge. This genre-bending supernatural thriller weaves elements of murder mystery, romance, high school drama, humor, and, of course, a terrifying ghost story. (Excerpt from "Her Terrifying Love") Jack's chest heaved. "You said he was dead." Lyla inched closer and whispered, "He had no pulse!" "Maybe he was just stunned." "We carried him all that way," she said. "He wasn't breathing." "But maybe he woke up after we left him down there." "Woke up?! His neck was broken." Jack hung his head. He couldn't make sense of this. "I know how this is gonna sound, but..." He choked on his words. "When I went to pick up my car from the body shop yesterday, he was standing across the street. Watching me." "Who was?!" "Keenan. I swear to God." "No way," she asserted. "That's crazy talk. He's dead." "It was him." Jack nodded. "He had a frickin' giant tattoo on his neck." A shiver flashed down Lyla's spine. Jack confirmed what she'd been dreading. He'd been seeing the ghost, too.
