Author Biography

I have always appreciated the beauty to be found in nature, during the different seasons of the year. I also have had a life-long interest in gardening, and the growing of plants. Consequently, I have strong feelings about the importance of taking time to observe the many wonders to be found in nature. I have tried to share these feelings in the writing of my poems.

Five Words I Would Use to Describe Myself:

Advice to Aspiring Authors

Try to be yourself in expressing feelings. In other words, write from the heart; particularly in the writing of poetry. Have patience. Let feelings and thoughts come to you. I have found that inspiration can come at any time, usually when least expected.
