Wildflower

by Neva Bell

A woman has many sides. Some she shows, some she hides. If you're one of the chosen few, she'll share all of them with you.

A poetry collection based on the many sides of a woman's personality - she is a boss, she is secretive, she is a hot mess, she is a smart cookie, she is a self-proclaimed comedian, and she is sexy AF.

Whether you're an avid poetry reader, or someone who's never picked up a poetry book, Wildflower has something for you.

151 pages, Kindle Edition

About the author

Hi everyone! I am a lawyer and writer from the United States who enjoys writing romantic comedies, erotic novellas, and poetry. I also dabble in the paranormal.

My romantic comedies - Love & Omissions, The Sleeping Arrangement, and The Things We Don't Say - fall into the romantic comedy category. The main characters are strong female leads who are willing to open their hearts to the right person. I am currently working on the edits for my fourth romantic comedy and hope to have it out by Spring 2021.

Branded, my third full-length novel, and its sequel Torn are now both available on Amazon. While Branded and Torn diverge from my romantic comedies in the sense that they include paranormal elements, readers will find the humor, drama and romance that appear in my romantic comedies.

I go by the name Allie Hayes when I write erotica novels. Allie's novellas - The Perfect Cure and Restless - are romantic comedies with naughty scenes that are inappropriate for readers under the age of 18. Allie also dabbles in poetry with spice.

My poetry books are my babies. They are so fun to put together. I love writing novels, but they require a lot of time and brain space that I don't always have. Poetry is a wonderful way for me to take a break from writing novels, but still flex my writing muscle. I would not consider myself a complicated poet by any means and I've been told my poetry is relatable to readers who don't traditionally read poetry. I have a seven book poetry collection I refer to as the "Flower Series" - Wildflower, Dandelion, Venus Fly Trap, Orchid, Tiger Lily, and Daisy. I've also written a poetry book about a young woman's struggle with addiction - Dragonfly, and a poetry collection based on the journey from a struggling soul to happy days - Symmetry. Like my novels, all of my poetry books are available on Kindle Unlimited.

In my free time, I enjoy yoga, pilates, and lifting weights. I have an amazing son who brings a tremendous amount of love and joy to my life, a Pekingese puppy named Remi who reminds me an awful lot of my four-legged companion Duke who I lost this past summer, and an amazing support group of family and friends who encourage me to keep writing.

Please feel free to reach out to me. I love hearing from readers!

I saw a sponsored post on Instagram for one of Neva Bells books. I was intrigued as it had a camera on the front.
I then looked through some of her other works and came across this collection of poetry. It has some beautiful pieces in it that I actually found quite powerful and have saved for another day. To reflect upon and enjoy.

Now to read the book I originally found. 😂

I literally read this book in a few hours! I genuinely loved every page. I have followed Neva on Instagram for a long time before I realised that she had published a novel called Love and Omissions which I read and loved. When I saw that she had published a poetry anthology I had to get it straight away. I'm so glad that I did because it is one of the best anthologies I have read in a long time.

Wildflower is separated into six chapters that each fill you with a different emotion. The emotions come across so well. You go from feeling empowered to laughing to crying all in one book. I really loved the chapter titled 'She is a Self-Proclaimed Comedian' and I laughed out loud while reading it. A lot of people's poetry is very sad and emotional and I completely understand that. This chapter is completely unique because I haven't read comedic poetry before and Neva wrote it so well. Neva is clearly a very strong woman and you can see that through the story she tells through her poetry.

If you haven't read any of Neva's books then I truly recommend that you do. She has a whole host of genres (poetry, romance, fantasy) for any book lover to enjoy. I have The Sleeping Arrangement to read next from this wonderful author and I can't wait!
