Artist's story poem
Who and what are artists? Do you draw, write, sing or take pictures? Do you use a pen and paper or a computer or do use a paintbrush or sculptors' tool with clay or stone or musicians with their music whatever the style? An artist is one who can show an image in words or show through using various colors or other forms of media like a photograph. Artists are people who see people and things in a different light for how other 'regular' people see things. We share our stories in words as writers and images as artists and photographers and sculptors. We share our ideas and dreams with all who care and want to see and hear our work.

A Kiss to Remember
'A Kiss to Remember' a short romance novel written by Naima Simone. This is the story of Remi and Declan two individuals that barely know each other and make a deal of sorts. This is truly a story of the 21st century for these two characters use text messaging throughout the story as friends, but it seems that something else is occurring. Naima is a descriptive writer so that the reader gets to know each of the characters from the major to the minor characters.

Once An Outlaw
Just finished 'Once an Outlaw' by Jill Gregory who wrote this historical fiction romance that kind of reminded me of 'Gunsmoke' as well as 'Little House on the Prairie' and even 'Bonanza'. This is the story of Clint Barclay and Emily Spoon who have to realize what family is and is not. Jill writes a story that is easy to visualize from how she describes the characters as well as the settings of the story. The reader will get the sense that they are back in history.

Dangerous
'Dangerous' written by Diana Palmer is a romance story, but there is a lot of family story too. This is the story of Winnie and Kilraven and the search for truth while working on a case of Kilraven's past and his dealing with losing one family and afraid to start another. This is a story of various emotions and how various relationships can affect one another. Diana Palmer has done her research well in developing these characters and what they do throughout the story.
