I have been influenced by writers of poetry and prose, from T.S. Eliot to Nancy Drew. The influences on my romance writing were the Silhouette romances of the early '80s. However, all the great novels of love and romance from Jane Austen, the Brontes, etc. had their effect.

Sunbathing

I see this stretch of beach before me
I see my feet, one foot propped up on the ankle of the other
I see my hands, half buried in the sand
I see myself and the beach together beneath the sun

I see the sun propped up by what I do not see
I see the sun in the moist, transparent sky

I see beyond...

Beyond this terrestrial blue
Beyond this terrestrial warmth
Beyond all my energies and moods
Beyond all the footprints I may add to this stretch of beach

Beyond all I can finally grasp of all this sand seashell seaweed
   sea foam surf sound seagull sea breeze stretch of beach

Beyond where space probes scan
Beyond where Hubbell's power sees
Beyond where Hawking's light cones meet the über-timeline
Beyond the black hole
Beyond the wormhole
Beyond...

I see this stretch of beach before me.
