Veronica, the eldest of three siblings, was born in Ft. Wayne Indiana, to Irene and Richard Roberts. She grew up in a downtown neighborhood with white sidewalks and tall mature trees during the early 70’s, where children rode bikes and played hopscotch together. The family lived in a restored 1800’s era Victorian house on Home Avenue. Here, Veronica enjoyed literature that was read to her and anything she could find at a library or bookstore until a parental split brought her to a dirt farm in Augusta, Georgia, where her life turned upside down. Taking to journals, poetry and short stories for comfort and release, she earned her first accolade in the fourth grade, winning a county-wide poetry contest.

Her true love for writing didn't take Veronica, the eldest of three siblings, was born in Ft. Wayne Indiana, to Irene and Richard Roberts. She grew up in a downtown neighborhood with white sidewalks and tall mature trees during the early 70’s, where children rode bikes and played hopscotch together. The family lived in a restored 1800’s era Victorian house on Home Avenue. Here, Veronica enjoyed literature that was read to her and anything she could find at a library or bookstore until a parental split brought her to a dirt farm in Augusta, Georgia, where her life turned upside down. Taking to journals, poetry and short stories for comfort and release, she earned her first accolade in the fourth grade, winning a county-wide poetry contest.

Her true love for writing didn't take form until she was about to leave the seventh grade and her English teacher passed out a list of books to be read over the summer if her students were going to be ready for higher reading assignments in Junior high. The first book on the alphabetized list was Beowulf, and the second one she read was the Meditations of Marcus Aurelius. From there, she spent the summer invested in a book when not taking care of farm animals or getting into trouble with her siblings and cousins.

When financial misfortune kept the family from sending her to college, she took a job painting houses to earn money for her own education. Two weeks into her position however, she elected to start her own business as a painter. With a business license and insurance in hand, she sought work in the commercial avenue with local property management companies and wound up putting her entire family to work before hiring her own crews and starting a legitimate business at the age of nineteen.

With the money to finish college, she earned an accounting degree from Brunswick College and soon after was married with two little boys to raise.

For all that, the love of her heart and her one escape was still in the written word. Receiving several “Poet Laureate” awards, she never stopped reading and writing, finishing her first full length fictional novel at the age of 25, which is now published and available online with Amazon and Barnes and Noble. This supernatural suspense thriller, “Nightworld Shadows”, is currently being considered for a screenplay.

A self-published memoir entitled “Lifestyles of the Grits and Tameless” took off and shortly thereafter, short stories based on her young life made their way into several “Chicken Soup for the Soul” books. Lifestyles of the Grits and Tameless has been enjoying it's second printing with some new stories and a brand new cover so don't forget to get your copy on Amazon today!

Newly married to Michael Coldiron and with her children grown and on their own, Veronica moved back to the city she so loved to visit in her youth, Savannah, Georgia. Her grandfather had taken her there often as a child and her mother brought them there several times every summer. Veronica has roots in the haunted city that span back centuries thanks to a seafaring family with ancestral pirates in the bloodline, and she was drawn to the city and the ocean for inspiration.

Shortly after the first of the year in 2022, she completed her first fantasy series that she started in 2003, “The Four Queens of the Apocalypse”. The first book, “White Throne Rising” is planned to be released in July 2025, followed shortly thereafter by the second offering in the series, “Summons of the Shelbourne”, which will come later in the year.

Veronica did at one time have a professional singing/songwriting career as an outlet for her love of writing. You can find her music online at: https://www.reverbnation.com/RonniRight

When not working on her writing, Veronica can be found walking the beaches of Tybee Island or on Riverstreet in Savannah, or walking her dogs, a small Pomeranian-Chihuahua family consisting of a mom, dad, and two sons. The father, Merlin Artorius, is a full blooded black Pomeranian a ...more

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).
