My work speaks for itself.  Been writing 15+ years.........I lost count.  My ultmate goal is to turn into a raging alcoholic living in the Caribbean somewhere and grow a beard.....no not really.  In real life I am a nurse, mother, and daughter.  I am from Virginia where we have history in our bones, the Appalachians as our backbone, and the sandy beaches as our soul. We are country with a slight twinge of city refinement. We can catch a bass, pound a beer, and hike while in heels.  And I don't write about bunnies and unicorns.....I despise "cliche" poetry.
