This is the first book I have had published, though one of my poems was included in the nationally published ‘Diving Beauty’. It has mainly a romantic theme written in Shakespeare-like tones, with a little suspense and wartime material thrown in. The goal of this book is to move the reader, to inspire, to take them to another time or place where the imagination can have free reign and not be hindered by the reality of their own world. To create or heighten someone’s desire to dream, strengthen their hope, or enhance their passion or appreciation for life and all of the beauty within it. To be one of many small sparks that hope to become part of a flaming light within a world that seems to be swiftly darkening. I hope you enjoy my book!
