This is the first poem of this last month of 2012. I am challenging myself to post a poem every day for this month. They are my gift to you all for I hope that they will be all uplifting of your spirits and sing with joyful notes. From June through to August 2013, I will take a number of poems from this collect to enter into a competition. Sorry for any inconvenience. The poems will be re-posted after the completion of the competition.

[SAMPLE ONLY. PUBLISHED IN OCTOBER 2016] - LINK TO PURCHASE E-BOOK ON MY MESSAGE BOARD! "Why are you being nice to me? I'm a freak, I'm blind," Riley had once asked her, but Ellie could never answer that question, and she would never be able to. Ellie Burke is just this simple town girl, who will never look at the wrong way about anyone. Moving to Florida means everything to her - she could turn over a new leaf, start a new life, and get the chance to actually be someone -and not just this useless nerdy girl. Everything's going well for her until she meets this boy in her English class - and he's the most interesting, unique person Ellie has ever met. The boy who lost his sight. She's going to fight for what her heart wants every step of the way. This is Ellie's story, and it's going to be one bumpy, complicated romance that's nothing like the fairy tales say. A story of hope, trust and what true love really means.

The Elbionic race, also known as "elves," is all but extinct, forced to call a world dominated by humans home. Their culture dissipated, their ancestry only found in history books, and what's left of their magic is scattered across the globe inside material objects. Nico, an elf and a magic thief, has made her way to a small village town between two mountains called Pierce Valley in search of one of these mythical magic items. But after six months of searching, even a headstrong member of the once great People such as herself is finding the trial wearing. Luckily for her, there are rumors going around town about a witch that lives in the forest next to the Valley, and she comes out at night to feast on the flesh of the townsfolk as a sacrificial tribute to the dark gods she serves. It's just the lead Nico needs. In order to find this "witch," Nico enlists the aid of the only human friend she's ever made-the eye-patched enigma, Trust. But there's more to him than meets the "eye," and he's quite enthusiastic about helping Nico... As she digs deeper into the mystery of the witch, her discoveries will lead her into cataclysmic events that cross paths with monsters, machines, and gods alike. And when it all ends, her fate, as well as the world, may be changed forever.

You are now reading Books I and II in a combined format. They are presented here as a single volume. Book I is about a thirteen year old boy's journey into magical healing. It is a time of awakening. Awakening to who you are, what you are meant to be, of friends and young love, of power and its use for good or evil. Book I is the book of beginnings. Book II outlines the further adventures of Julian, Nicole and Brian after they have grown up. What's at stake is magnified exponentially as the extent and full power of the Tree becomes realized. Book III has just begun. (Oct 10 2014) Please go check on my profile page. :-) Here's a thought. ^.^ We Canadians sometimes spell things differently. Like 'neighbourhood', 'Paediatrics' or even 'honour'. How's that? :-) So, thank you all so much, but please do not edit my work for spelling or grammar. All right? :-) I'd rather get there on my own, eventually.

"Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" tells of a girl named Alice who falls down a rabbit hole into a fantasy world populated by peculiar, anthropomorphic creatures. The tale plays with logic, giving the story lasting popularity with adults as well as children.

Winter Trails is an album of my poems, journeying through late fall when the wire of the trees begins to dominate, till the end of January. After promoting it and it soaring to three quarter million reads, Wattpad unceremoniously dumped it. Here it still is though.
