In 2010 I met a young woman - my muse who inspired me to write poems. They were simple poems sent to her as personal little messages, email, or SMS. When I lost my muse a few people got to read what I wrote. They encouraged me to publish my poems.

I took a lot of courage for me to publish them because they were very personal and I didn't think they were good enough. Finally in 2013 my first volume of poems titled A Love Found and Lost was published.

It is available as a paperback here and on Kindle.

Currently I am working on a second volume of poems. A new muse has entered my life and she has taken my writing to a whole other level. I hope to publish them in 2015.

I'll write down the idea or key words and the direction I want to take it and then walk away from it. I'll come back to it the next day and look it over. Sometimes it triggers the rest to turn it into a poem. Other times it sparks a new angle or approach that's far better.(less)

I know I succeeded when she looks up after reading it and tells me "I can't find the words to tell you how happy this makes me feel"
