Please allow me to introduce myself…

I’m not a man of wealth and taste…  I decided to start this blog as a way journal my progress as a writer.  As a woman in middle age with a real desire to succeed as an author, I thought sending some words out for other creative minds to read and comment on would be a good way to test the waters.

I am a practicing chiropractor with a home office in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, so writing hasn’t exactly been part of my skill set, well, beyond noting patients’ charts.  Nonetheless, I love to read, passionately.  And seriously, doesn’t every reader want to write?

Recently, I came up with an idea for a series of romantic suspense novels set in my home region and decided to set pen to paper (figuratively) and have self published the first in the series on Amazon. The second and third manuscripts are complete and at the editing stage, so…. Stay tuned!

Obsession: A poem for Color By Words Challenge

When I tried to say goodbye
You begged me please to tell you why
Calling after me, I love you and and I’m sorry

My friends say maybe try again
But I’ll always remember when
You held on and wouldn’t let me go

Your handsome face is so sincere
But all you do is bring me tears
I lie awake at night for fear and worry

You sent me roses every day
Little gifts to make me stay
With a note that said I love you, please forgive me

I had to pull myself away
You stood outside my door to say
That you would never, ever let me go

You’d love me till the end of time
But you’d already crossed a line
I knew that you would never set me free

It seems I’m your obsession
You keep holding on
I’m not your possession
I just need to run
Away
