About Me
I’m Allie, a mother of two wonderful babies, a 5 year old son and 2 year old daughter. They are simultaneously keeping me sane and also driving me to the edge of being in a nut house, and I wouldn’t have it any other way!
Most of what I write is poetry, it might not be great, but it is real and written from the heart at every emotion.
I have my first two poetry books are published and available on Amazon, Words of the broken & A Life of Love We Shall Live.
Currently writing away on my fantasy thriller/horror book Beyond the Walls! Stay tuned!
My poetry is very much written in the moment, tiny glimpses of how I feel. I do my best to read over them, but typos happen, so bear with me!
