About Me

Recently widowed, I live in southern Louisiana, near the bayou community where I was born and raised. I am a mom to three great kids and grandmom to four adorable rugrats. My passion is writing, mostly poetry. Being visually challenged, I believe my words come from a different perspective. I write not of what the eyes see but of what the heart knows. My first book of poetry My Words, My Thoughts, My Heart was released in 2004 and another, a collaboration, was released in 2008, Conjuctions of Invisible Breath. My newest book of poetry Breath of the Bayou was just recently released. Any successes that I have achieved in my writing have been gifts which I value and continue to be humbled by.
