About Me

I write poetry and am publishing my first poetry book!! It is titled, "After the Rain"... will keep you posted on the arrival of this NEWBORN!In the meantime, I am indulging myself in three different writing projects. I just starting to write for a local Publishing House and I am teaching Adult Education classes for Rio Salado Community College.
My true art and love is writing, and although teaching is new, I am finding that it is natural for me. I love my students and I am blessed to be a blessing for them in this stage of their lives.I am a single Mom whose values are deeply rooted in God's love of my family and my friends. Women issues are my issues, so I am passionate about the factors we face as females in this world, especially with strong women who have weathered incredible odds. We need to keep moving ahead, no matter what giants we face!
I appreciate genuine honesty and enjoy the company of laughter and good humor. I am a writer of poetry, and am always looking for the next incredible dose to set me off on another call to the muse of writing itself.I also miss skydiving and in its memoriam, I have a blogsite that I dedicate my writing to--I've named the site SKYDIVING POETRY. I still need to post pictures of those skydiving days...I also love to dance... right now, I'm having an affair with SALSA and this wild heart is married to BELLY DANCING-- yes, I do both!!! BLOG THAT!
Someday, I hope to author my own poetry magazine or create my own Publishing House. I am going to patent the name of the Publishing House this month!! God has good plans for me and I'm trusting the path I follow!See me at: http://skydiving-poetry.blogspot.com/ and http://skydiving-poetry.blog.com
on Poetry
you were never mine
though you came to me
on full moon nights
shooting into the abyss
my stars
baby you shined bright
switching the debris
my scoriac chartreuse
floating into a dam
waiting to happen
your mystic waters fall like rain
nourishing the croaked limbs of love
of strength of joy of human pain
you carry me still
after the rains
where souls burn to love on love
and cooled
slapped down by war on war
always changing me rearranging me
from the urn like a Phoenix
where words give birth
to another Lazaraus
another powerful rise in the wake
of a sudden death
you were never mine
still I take the best of you
'cause its all I've got
to give

My Interests

The two new books that are tearing their way out of me... INCREDIBLE!
Both have a life of their own...they got me pacing in two different worlds...
I'm working on putting together a separate site for the Novel which is based on myth & mystery. I am praying this will be the first book I publish under my own publishing house trademark!!! It rocks, and I'm on this one for real.
Writing about the manifestation..... evolution of the human spirit and the transcendental triumphs of light and dark is by far one of the greatest tasks I've ever committed to...
It was like taking the darkess of poetry in it's raw fabric and spreading it to cover time, place and character.
...and I'm partying all by myself to Dream Theatre, Pantera, Evanescence, and Metallica. I'm good. I'm good and I'm working toward the light~!!Meet the main character... Kat'reana Van Luces..."she bathes in water, yet her fire must burn!" Venus & Adonis lovers will appreciate this passage....Shakespeare
...because life wasn't enough... she felt deeper... saw farther than he could ever imagine...

He's my brother.... (I'm going to photoshop my face on this poster!!)------Continuing to show love for the word of GOD!--------
I've got to keep this one going.... I met Richie two years ago here in Phoenix. He was doing a concert for the valley youth at our church downtown. He has a powerful message that is Christ bound and cross pollinates the energy of R&B with Rap. His music is WORD!
His music is set above to this profile, "YES I CAN"-- because when "this world says no... I say YES, I CAN!!!!!!"
(And so can YOU! Believe that!) Please find it in your spirit to listen to it. I wouldn't pass on junk!!A celebration for his album Release of PEOPLEZ CHOICE...... is happening in New York. PEOPLEZ CHOICE Album release....If you have never been to an E.R. check out the video.. Hosted By R.I.C.H Righteous Log onto www.RichieRighteous.com for more info...Sharing the love...you've got to see this VIDEO!!!
no matter the giants
no matter the pain
no matter the failures
you are who God says you are!!!

I'd like to meet:

I'm here to network. I'd like to meet other writers, poets, novelists.... also..


I can be intrigued by people who inspire and motivate others. I love a great success story and cheer for the underdog. The underdogs are my family. I often fall in love with characters like Edward Cullen (Twilight Series) & Mike Flannigan (Mrs.Mike). I can do these individuals no justice, you must read them for yourself."I have fallen in love a thousand times in my lifetime. All of which have been with books."--unknown"Books may well be the only true magic."--Alice Hoffman..
