Lust, Love, Loss is a poetic dissertation all about the art of human interaction. No matter whether the connection is platonic, romantic, or family oriented at some point in time in the interaction, the individual or individuals will experience some component Lust, Love or Loss. Three inanimate words, yet they hold so much power! Within the composition, I invite readers into the creative process as well as share intimate thoughts, reactions, and ask probing questions to them to spark their inner poet.

My poetry and short stories will take you on a journey and give you a brief look into my life. Everything I write is from the heart and is inspired by personal experiences. Love speaks of the love that has filled my heart. Lust speaks of the many temptations, seductions, and emotions that stimulate the body. And loss speaks of the hurt that can be brought on by love or feelings of lack thereof. The short stories of passion allowed me to delve into my creative side. The many days I sat daydreaming and wondering what if are now out of my head and on paper. Often we fantasize but we keep our fantasies to ourselves. This allows me to explore those passions outside of a mere daydream. Love, Lust, and Loss reflects life experiences and everything in between. My book takes a look into every aspect of every emotion that love and loss of love elicits. I hope that what I write inspires you to feel something youve never felt, reminds you of a love from your past, present, or future, and allows you to see that you are not alone in your emotions.

"By most appearances, she's the girl next door, but she's got an insatiable sexual appetite for forbidden male fruit. And most times, it's the most rotten male fruit ... that she deeply desires most. ... This right here, this book, this right here is about my life's experiences as it relates to many sexual facets of me. Not all, but many. This is about me sharing some of my thoughts, processes, stagnations, evolutions as a woman and sexual being."--Page v.
