SEDONA DAYS #1: Coffee and Coffee Pot Rock

We are renting a house in Sedona, Arizona for an extended period this summer. The setting and views are spectacular; we are surrounded by red rock formations of all different shapes and color.

I thought it would be fun to capture a daily image of the setting in all its different moods - Sedona-blue skies and sunshine; moody monsoon clouds; morning, afternoon, evening...

Day one: Coffee and Coffee Pot Rock

About Me

I am an author, poet, and yoga teacher, recently returned to my beloved New England after a 20-year journey of living in the southwest U.S. and Florida. I am the author of Candles in the Windows, A Christmas Romance, newly released in 2023. I also have two middle-grade novels, The Christmas Village and Return to Canterbury. In 2023, I also released my first poetry collection, The Brook in the Woods Behind our Old House, and a self-illustrated picture book, Come Fly with Me. All my books are available on Amazon.com. Click on the book cover to go directly to that book's page on Amazon.

About My Poetry

It wasn't until the forced isolation of the pandemic that I began to explore writing poetry with dedicated effort. To my surprise and delight, several poems that emerged from that time went on to win honors and awards in international poetry competitions throughout 2021 and 2022. A small collection of my work was a top five winner in the 2022 Oprelle Masters Poetry Competition, while individual poems earned awards and honors in the Bigger Than Me and Coming Home Competitions, The Prime 53 Poetry Competition, and the Vivian Shipley Award. In 2023, I published my first poetry chapbook, The Brook in the Woods Behind Our Old House, which is available on Amazon.
