Eve’s writing began with a toy typewriter she received at age four. Much later, she wrote poems for school publications and work related newsletters until landing a job writing ad copy and selling advertising space for major metropolitan, and community newspapers. Her first novel Penniless Hearts, is part adventure, part romance, and a gentle reminder to communicate. Eve has published poems, fiction stories and non-fiction, in various anthologies, some of which are: Anything Prose and Poetry Too, Open Doors-Fractured Fairy Tales, and Not Your Mother’s Book on Dogs and Travel. She followed up Penniless Hearts with Penniless Souls, also a travel adventure but set in the Nevada desert. A short faith-based novella titled, The Fifth Commandment ...more

Illuminating Poetry!

I'm so excited to share with you a personal, memoir-style poem published in the Genesis issue of Luminaura Magazine. Many of you know about our move to the desert, and the blog I had for years called The Desert Rocks. The dry landscape inspired me every day, almost like a fountain erupting from parched ground in the middle of nowhere. Though a great place to write, I found family distancing themse

Maybe I’m old fashioned, but not only do I prefer regular, gasoline powered vehicles, but I also draw the line at human hybrids. In fact, getting out of my comfort zone can be difficult, which is exactly why I’m glad I read this well written book.

Also, I make sure to point out that true love is more than sex. Please let me know what you think but if you hate it then private message please. LOL

Kenna McKinnon I've started Penniless Hearts. Am looking forward to getting into it, Eve, it is the kind of romance I really enjoy, though I'm not a reader of romances as a rule. Karen Docter also writes romance that appeals to me.
