I love to read, write, draw, and paint. When I do any of these things, I enter different worlds, as art is a portal to the imagination. The Sisterhood, Book One of The Sisterhood series, is about a daughter of a sorceress, and her best friend who is a dragon, and the journey they go on to save the universe.
I enjoy writing stories with strong female protagonists. Ghanaian, Greek, and Celtic mythology also fascinate me, and they are part of Book One of The Sisterhood series. Racine, Book Two of my Sisterhood Series, continues on the same Magical Path, with Racine, the 19 year old woman protagonist, going on a Fantastical Odyssey from the Library Of Congress. On This Journey, she discovers her mystical beginnings. I had fun, and enjoyed the ...more

One reason is because the character of Anne, depicted back in the early twentieth century, resisted gender stereotypes, and not only became a teacher, but earned her Bachelor Of Arts--unheard of at that time.
Many women just got teaching certificates, and that was as far as they were expected to go. Anne was always bright, earning a scholarship to Queen's University, and didn't let any barrier get in her way. She was always herself, and Gilbert liked that from the very beginning.
Even though she stopped teaching when she and Gilbert got married and started a family, Anne was always unconventional, and brought her children to believe, embrace in the power of imagination. Her character also inspired me to become a writer, as she also wrote when she was younger, and always believed in the magic of books, story, and the oral.
I remember when the author depicted Anne doing a performance of Alfred Noyes' The Highwayman. It will forever remain in my memory. Yes, and for her to find someone who would always support her gifts, and embrace her uniqueness was quite a gift. Yes, these two characters are fictional but they inspired a young girl like myself, at that age, to dream, that anything is possible. (less)

Stop by, recommend books, offer up poems (excerpted), tempt us, taunt us, tell us what to read and where to go (to read it!) Goodreads honors wordsmiths: poets and poetry promoted and prompted here. ~~~ "Poetry is the synthesis of hyacinths and biscuits." -- Carl Sandburg “God has a brown voice, as soft and full as beer.” —Anne Sexton On Clouds – “…what primitive tastes the ancients must have had if their poets were inspired by those absurd, untidy clumps of mist, idiotically jostling one another about…” —Yevgeny Zamyatin “If the poet wants to be a poet, the poet must force the poet to revise. If the poet doesn’t wish to revise, let the poet abandon poetry and take up stamp-collecting or real estate.” —Donald Hall “Poetry is a rich, full-bodied whistle, cracked ice crunching in pails, the night that numbs the leaf, the duel of two nightingales, the sweet pea that has run wild, Creation’s tears in shoulder blades.” —Boris Pasternak “Wanted: a needle swift enough to sew this poem into a blanket.” —Charles Simic “Language is a cracked kettle on which we beat out tunes for bears to dance to, while all the time we long to move the stars to pity.” —Gustave Flaubert “Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It’s that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that’s what the poet does.” —Allen Ginsberg. ~~~~~ Amy King, Moderator Amy King is the recipient of the 2015 Winner of the WNBA Award (Women’s National Book Association). Her latest collection, The Missing Museum, is a winner of the 2015 Tarpaulin Sky Book Prize.
