I’ve been struggling with my faith over the last few days due to some personal things as well as my sorrow watching the turn of events with Russia and Ukraine. But today, the sun is out, and although it’s still chilly, and still a scary world, I choose to have faith. 🌞
Sometimes #sunshine contains more promise than warmth and faith must be wrapped in cool breeze
Been a little under the weather, so going to rest up this weekend. Enjoy my latest tweets and don’t forget my novella, The Light in the Cave, is now available for pre-order and releases Sunday on Amazon here! 💖
Surrender your fears raise your hands to lost roots they dangle just above
the flood returns nothing but ancient sludge ~ sweep it away ~
let the abyss pound the mountain let the sun bake its pie
I’m so excited to announce that my novella, The Light in the Cave, is now available on Amazon here! It’s been a journey learning all about self-publishing, but I am glad I took the leap and will finally publish this novella!
Here is the description:
Karisa Meyers has just taken a position working in a cave as a government contractor in order to be closer to her boyfriend, Fox Greene, a Staff Sergeant in the Army. She’s a little worried she won’t be able to pass the tests and keep her job. Fortunately, Cole Brooks, her sexy trainer is there to help. However, soon she will uncover the secrets of the cave and need to battle a biobot vampire, a quantum computer, and her own growing feelings for Cole.
The Light in the Cave blends the genres of Paranormal Romance, Science Fiction, and Mystery while touching on metaphysical topics such as frequency, remote viewing, synchronicity, the power of the mind, and the gift of free will.
33% alien 33% vampire 33% quantum computer and 100% entertainment is found within this action-packed story!
This original novella was inspired from Tricia Sankey’s short story, The Reset, which received an Honorable Mention in the prestigious L.Ron Hubbard Writers of the Future Contest.
From the Afterword of my novella:
A few people have asked me about the inspiration for the cave setting in my novella. There was a time I did work as a contractor for the government, redacting immigration records inside a cave in Missouri. No, I didn’t encounter any aliens or vampires (that I can speak of) but I did spend plenty of time daydreaming, (during my breaks, of course) and perhaps my frequency increased while I spent so much time underground. I did and still do notice 11:11 and 1:11 quite often, but I just consider it a fun synchronicity.
I also appreciate the synchronicity of my novella releasing for pre-order on 2/22/2022!

I was listening to an interview with Nikola Tesla this morning here where he mentions that “Black is the true face of light,” and it inspired this poem! I have also just finished editing my novella, “The Light in the Cave,” (releasing on Kindle on 2/27), and my spoon-bending scene in the last chapter managed to seep into this write. I very much agree with Tesla when he says, “If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency, and vibration.”
Empty space awaken emerge from black pupils of curious eyes,
I have this inexplicable longing to think… a stubborn sixth
sense that beats like a drum that dreams and tastes
tangy stars while they spin in your spoon on your lips,
in a boiling black sky,
you stir it now –
and if I can just keep my focus on your tongue, slurping
rhythmically then I’ll bend every spoon, I hope you don’t mind –
we are but two parallel lines destined to meet
we’ll kiss the black sky till she blushes and grins.
I’m getting excited for the release! I will let everyone know when the novella is available for pre-order in the coming days. In the meantime, enjoy my latest tweets!
The sun is down and I'm lost in a wooded maze.
The wolf is calm with hazel eyes. I shudder in her soft gaze.
She leads me to the river within a secret #sorority she washes me clean
There is a shadow of you, shattered there – with dark fragments floating, I trace you with fair fingers and cold stars, a strange affair with little reason and faulty rhyme with
too much pain and desire, we break into a sweat, counting cracked, broken moons, learn a new language where mystic tongues curse anew a sacred scroll splays out – read it now, a
strange story indeed, with perfectly strange beginnings and silly ends, beginnings change meaning, with old metaphors, and change ending rhymes around, forever ending.
Written for dVerse, where Laura asks us to write sonnets of 14 lines and 10 syllables (iambic pentameter is optional extra)while starting and ending each line with the same word(including derivatives and homophones).
The word ‘shadow’ or its derivative should be in the poem’s title, and the notion of shadow as metaphor or reality should feature somewhere in your poem.
