Inspirational Love is a collection of raw emotional poetry that offers readers a heartfelt, unvarnished glimpse into the complexities of love, loss, and longing. What inspired you to write this collection of poetry?

I started writing in a creative writing course in high school where I tied for the highest mark in the class. It was there I wrote my first love poems about Heather. Poetry proved to be a way to express my emotions. Writing poetry proved to be cathartic. That was why I continued to write poems. My first published work was the poem “Cindy” which appeared in the Calgary Sun Newspaper article “Readers Sweet-Talk Cindy” which garnered me a poster. That poem exhibited my creative imagination.

What was the most challenging part of writing this collection and what was the most rewarding?

Writing these poems came easily to me. I was putting my life experiences down on paper. The words just seemed to flow naturally whenever I was feeling emotional.

What do you hope is one thing readers take away from your book?

I finally decided to publish these poems to let others know they are not alone. The quest for love and acceptance is in all of us. Regardless of how we feel, we should never lose hope. We all have people who love us. I learned we are all capable of giving and receiving love. We don’t all love each other equally or as passionately. The expectations we have are not always met but that doesn’t mean we aren’t loved. We should never give up hope. I want others to realize that.

What is the next book that you are working on and when can your fans expect it to be out?

I don’t have another book in the works.
