A Fairy’s Longing
“A Fairy’s Longing”
Dusk turns to night,
I open crystal wings;
Fireflies glide above
A flowing, glowing stream.
I hear the flutes of elves
And see the dancing fauns,
But it’s up in the sky
Where I want to belong.
I gaze up at the night,
Luminous silver cascading down,
That black velvety cloak
Holding the Moon like a crown.
So far yet so close
That dream-world of the Moon.
Ever present, ever white,
I dance its’ soft lullaby tune…
~It twirls and sways, like reeds in the wind,
Around the earth’s spin, its’ flow n...

Excerpt from poem “Life’s Ocean”:
“The ocean stretches out–it flows on and on,
The sky and water both mirror images
Of rosy, gold clouds spreading across twin smooth surfaces
–out into the distant horizon.
My ship sails on through that never-ending pat...

How to Market Your Fantasy Novel on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and more
You don’t have to be Neil Gaiman, Robin Hobb, or George R. R. Martin to have a successful career as a fantasy writer. Whether you write epic fantasy, paranormal romance, magic realism, steampunk, or one of the fantasy genre’s many other sub-classifications, you just have to find the readers who also love that same brand of fantasy fiction. So, where do you find and engage with the readers who want the type of fantasy you write?

Poem: What We Take for Granted
“What We Take for Granted”
A girl in poverty pauses on her trek through the field
Full of hopes and dreams despite low health and wealth
Desiring to learn, to travel God’s world!
But suddenly feeling faint, she slows her walk
