Goddess of the Night is my first poetry collection. I managed to publish it through CreateSpace, which proved to be an fairly simple process for getting my work "out there". The collection is now available through Amazon, as well as from the CreateSpace website. Goddess of the Night was very much a labour of love, as it took me over a decade to write it. I started writing the poems in this collection, when I was at university, studying Archaeology and Scottish Literature.  

Within Goddess of the Night, I did not stay with one theme, or topic, allowing myself to write whatever came to mind. My poetry has been influenced by numerous things, from history to folklore, as well as archaeology and re-enactment. Yes, I spend my spare time dressing up and pretending to be a Viking. I do find poems to be a brilliant way of quickly getting my thoughts down on paper, allowing me to write something about current events, when they happen.

Since it has been published, I have been spending a lot of my time promoting the collection, using social media for all that it's worth. Facebook and Twitter have certainly proven helpful in that respect. It has been hard work though. Even though I am going to be working on other poetry collections, I am also working on other projects, including a series of novels that involve the Norse gods.
