Hey what do you say
Why don’t we play
One of my favorite games
It’s not about you
I swear that’s the truth
I can accept almost all of the blame
Where should I begin
I’ll let you in
On a secret that nobody knows
It’s all about pain
That’s how you gain
Recognition at the end of the show
Come back about six
I’ll help you to fix
A way to get all that you want
I’ll start a new page
To explain all the rage
I’ll make it sound nonchalant
Do call ahead
Or show up instead
Your room will be ready and dressed
Put on your face
Then pick out a place
In case you might want to confess
Then at the end
We can start over again
Just to take in all that you’ve said
Or maybe we won’t
Cause you know that I don’t
Need more villains inside of my head

Excerpt from the book “Alaskan Vogue”
About the Author
I never thought the word “writer” would be used to describe me and the thoughts that tumble out of my head onto paper. It’s a new me, giving away words all neatly packaged up in rhyme.
I have lived in the interior of Alaska off and on for nearly twenty years. Alaska gets in your blood. It lures you in then takes your soul hostage, becoming part of who you are, who you become. Every summer, the days are warm, long, and inviting. Tourists descend in droves, racing toward the next adventure, and a rich, colorful history provides plenty of businesses with trinkets to sell the Alaskan nostalgia. Anything seems possible when you are standing outside at midnight and the stars are nowhere to be found. That is until winter rolls back around.
