"This collection has a darkness that is both thrilling and comedic.
Poetry from a mature woman’s voice, a voice we do not hear very often.
Many of the poems have a dark humour that sneaks up on you.
Despair, comedy, joy and love are all on display in a raw but honest telling.
Some of my favourites are The Day After I Was Murdered, Aging Gracefully, and Naked.
How can you resist someone who can write…
“…when you wrapped your hands around my neck and told me that you once
 had killed a man with your bare hands.”"

My book is available from many online retailers.
