About Me
- About Me: I have 3 beautiful daughters and an incredible husband. We live in California. I absolutely LOVE to write poetry. I just write whatever is rolling around in my head (there is always something rolling in there!). If it turns into a poem later then I have a sense of healing. I have just had my first book of poetry published entitled Raven's Brew. I also work full time for a telecommunications company and edit poetry for an online magazine you can check out at liquid-imagination.com. I don't have a lot of time for Xanga, but when I get the chance I love to log on and read other peoples poetry or short stories. Please check out www.ravens-brew.com
