Dancing on the Fringes of the Realm
is a poetic journey on the wings of imagination that is both timely and inspiring as it touches the heart, inflames the spirit and speaks to the parody in the politics gripping this Nation.
The Dance is engaging. It encompasses five Realms each distinct in the messages that they impart: Poetic Pontifications, Collision of Hearts, Spirit of the Moment, Along the Way and A Parody in the Politics. The Dance will bring forth a transformation of thought that is only limited by the bounds of imagination. It is an outstanding work, page after page. One is reluctant to read it all in one setting; not wanting the Dance to end.
The Realm encompasses many dimensions. A sampling of excepts from selected pieces provides a flavor of the expanse of the Realm.
Everybody knows, but nobody's talking. Sniper's shot rings out, while the school kid are walking. Politicians posturing to get re-elected, a raise in their paycheck, minimum wage rejected. Nobody's Talking
I'm proud to be a neo-con, as hateful as can be. You are a liberal if you disagree with me. I wave my banner proudly, so all of you can see, America is my homeland, this land belongs to me. Proud To Be A Neo-Con
To stay or flee is the question I ask of thee my dear Congress. Stay and experience the effects of your actions. Once you experience that reality, perhaps the policies you put in place will truly safeguard the constituents you profess to represent. Stay or Flee

Wanting To Be Free was published in AT DAY'S END. Windows of Your Soul was published in EDGE OF TWILIGHT. Visions was published in SONGS ON THE WIND.
Her poetic expressions are reflections of life that have been shaped by extensive world-wide travel and a career as lobbyist and attorney in the Nation's Capitol. She has set foot on every continent, except for Antarctica. Her travels have enabled her to appreciate and respect the rich history each culture offers.
A significant portion of her professional career as attorney was serving as the Washington lobbyist to the City of Detroit during the final years of the Coleman A. Young administration. She has authored numerous pieces of legislation and lobbied their inclusion in bills that cleared
Congress and were signed into law. Those years of lobbying have given her keen insights into the inner-workings of Capitol Hill and the massive Federal bureaucracy. The Fifth Realm: A Parody in the Politics is a contemporary commentary on the political times in which we are living.
