Book excerpt: WITH SPECIAL THANKS I want to make a big shout out. To all the people I have known along the way that has been my muses. They have been in my life when I thought I was going to die with the gut wrenching disease Lupus. I thank God for getting me this far with positive thinking. All the years I have known myself, things either measure up or they don’t, but I am still able to live in a peaceful zone of the Nova plane. I went to Del Mar College to study English and art. Then I went to Our Lady of Corpus Christi to study Theology and Philosophy. I started out getting published at the age of nineteen. Pieces of a Woman is my first freestyle poetry book and it was published in 2006. Please enjoy my work of fiction entitled, “Sweet Oblivion” a look into every side of a woman and man.
