“I knew, by deciding to write my first book, that it was going to change my life. I felt motivated, compelled and inspired by my own personal experience with virtual love. And, by this decision, I was willing to open myself up and express my feelings and emotions by writing in a poetic fashion. At this creative juncture in my life, I found excitement, and I am loving this new experience. I will never be that person who just lays around in retirement. Life’s too short, so I’m going for it!” 

“Ever since I started writing in a poetic fashion, my primary focus has been on the reality of nature, its beauty, my desires to give and feel love, and to finding inner peace. I am a soul seeking fulfillment in the everyday beauty of my existence. I have lived a great life. When I tell a story, I can say that I have felt and embraced the romance of life in many moments and experiences that I’ve had.” ~Linda Joy Mattson, Author, Poet, Photographer, Artist
