My Journey From Warrior to Gypsy is a poetry collection centered around four main topics: love and romance, riding and jumping horses, travel, and facing adversity. Why was this an important collection for you to write?

I wanted to share my journey of personal growth and my love of riding horses, traveling, and learning how to find a greater connection with other people. Each of us has our mountains to climb and I wanted to share some of mine with others.

In between many of the poems are half-page full-color photographs to illustrate the work. What decisions went into deciding on the images to place in the book?

Most of the photographs were taken when I was traveling. I thought the pictures added to sharing of my experiences.

Giving Thanks at Gull Lake was one of the poems that resonated with me. What was your favorite poem in the collection?

I had several favorites besides my first poem “Giving Thanks at Gull Lake.” Other favories of mine include “Sunrise at Matchu Picchu” and “How Do You Climb Mt. Fuji.”

Are you working on another collection of poems? Or another writing project? If so, when will it be available?

I just finished writing about my riding safari in Tanzania titled “Dreams Coming True in Tanzania” and it will be in my next book.
