I am a published writer
I share pages with many talented writers from around the world in three poetry anthologies / Hellokoo / Poetry workshop /
will i ever be? i have always wanted to - i am a writer!
Written in May of 2020 this is one of my favorite poems.
The generosity of Ishita Ganguly, Kim Brake and Claire Thom made my dream of being a published writer come true.
I am very excited to announce that my poems are published in three poetry anthologies:
Expressions from the Heart

Published by Inkquills Publishing House, India, available via Amazon.com
An anthology containing poems by 40 women writers from 15 countries

Hope is a Group Project
Edited and compiled by Claire Thom, published by The Wee Sparrow Poetry Press, soon available via Amazon.com

I discovered @hellokoo.co in February of 2021 and I have written hundreds of hellokoo poems inspired by the inspiring prompts. Come on over to hellokoo+ and join the fun there too.

Books I recommend
The Island of Missing Trees by Elif Shafak (watch the Johnny Harris series for background information)
Persuasion by Jane Austen (let’s talk about the movie adaptation)
Die Enkelin (The Granddaughter) Bernhard Schlink (author of The Reader)
I use Goodreads to keep track of what I read. Find me here.
Movies and tv shows I recommend
I loved The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger, the movie adaptation from 2009 and also the new TV adaptation that was unfortunately cancelled after the first season.
James May: Our Man in Japan was highly entertaining, the first episodes of James May: Our Man in Italy have not yet lived up to the high expectations.
