About the Author
*Introduction*
I've been sharing my poetry on the internet since about 2005, first at an online community called MySpace, and then later migrating my poetry and essay writing over to my official writing page/blog. That site (linked at the end of this book in the About Author section) is where I write and share at least some of my current poetry, essays, publication news, and writing rants and raves from time to time.
From the beginning I was encouraged to get published by my readers and this was realized in 2011 with my first collection, Emerging Goddess, it was followed by Ascending Goddess (2012) and Lost Love Poems (2013). Also in 2013, I had an essay published about Walt Whitman. These were all published as eBooks, but are widely available all over the web in many different formats. Also, they will be published in print beginning in early 2014.
Now over time and in particular the last two and a half years, I have regularly posted columns on my blog that features additional information and facts about goddesses. These columns are simply called More About Goddesses. The columns are meant to tie into my poetry which also mentions goddess motifs and themes. What was unexpected, by both myself and my publisher was how popular these columns would become with internet searchers and my readers.
In fact, not only were some of the columns being read hundreds of times in a short period of time after posting, some of the columns have been read thousands of times. In fact, the opening column in this eBook, as of the present time (July 2013), has been viewed
