      My Path to Infidelity

      My path to infidelity is a raw, honest, intimate, and soul-baring journey through the life and inner most personal thoughts of an everyday, ordinary woman. As Kate faces the paralysis of her son, and loss of her daughter, she is forced to reflect on her life and the choices she has made. Rising above the noise and confusion, she displays extraordinary and profound insight. Seeking comfort and reassurance in her time of need, she stumbles down a path that disarmingly leads to a man who changes her life forever. "Real and raw, this book will have you captured and enthralled from word one" - MW "Riveting and compelling" - RC "It's very relatable, like she was writing about my life"- KB "I sat down to read a few pages and didn't stop until I read the whole book"- MD

      Follow the changing seasons through all their wealth of growth and flowering, through autumn's fall, the withering of winter and all the challenging varieties of weather that can accompany these changes. These poems, written over a period of 30 years, are essentially poems of celebration: of immersion in the seasonal round that 'resonate with quiet joy' as one reviewer observed. 'To walk through its pages is to be touched and refreshed by the dew...' To encounter 'widths of sky, or mercurial, brimming weather.' The author's companionable sensibility brings us a welcome breathing space at a helpful distance from the overly ironic or overly cerebral poetry to be found, too often, in literary journals. A blithe purity ushers through it. And, as in its Midsummer Garden it extends a joyful invitation to re-enter that purity 'like...a winged seed.'
