Today, it is my great honor to share with you a fantastic author and an amazing human being. Introducing Rave Reviews Book Club’s SPOTLIGHT AUTHOR for November, D. L. Finn!
Take it away, D. L. . .
Thank you for having me on your blog for day one of the Just Her Poetry Spotlight tour!
Finn Facts:
- I won the first place ribbon, at our local fair, of an icicle picture taken near Reno, NV.
- I’ve almost drowned in a river, pool, and the ocean, but I still love to swim.
Blurb:
Take a journey with D.L. Finn as she blends her love of nature with her deepest emotions. Sit with her on the forest floor observing its tranquil beauty, or stroll along the ocean’s shore admiring the vastness of its horizon. Here in these peaceful moments you’ll be able to experience her thoughts and feelings in the light—and in the darkness. This is a thought-provoking collection of poetry that invites the reader into all the seasons of a soul.
Excerpt from Just Her Poetry: NATURE Spring and Summer
SPRING SUN
I sit outside in the spring sun
Listening to the birds sing
As a bee hums near me searching.
Small patches of snow are slushy
Everything’s waking up from the dormant season
The cats are exploring…the dogs sunbathing.
I relax in the warmth that renews my soul.
It is a day for new beginnings…a new seed
A place to plant buried dreams in the stars
In the fertile magic of a perfect day in spring.
D.L. Finn is an independent California local who encourages everyone to embrace their inner child. She was born and raised in the foggy Bay Area, but in 1990 relocated with her husband, kids, dogs, and cats to the Sierra foothills in Nevada City, CA. She immersed herself in reading all types of books, but especially loved romance, horror, and fantasy. She always treasured creating her own reality on paper. Finally, being surrounded by towering pines, oaks, and cedars, her creativity was nurtured until it bloomed. Her creations vary from children’s books, young adult fantasy, and adult paranormal romance to an autobiography with poetry. She continues on her adventures with an open invitation for her readers to join her.

I love this poem, Denise. It’s just before sunrise on a Spring morning here in Australia. This poem covers it perfectly. Winter is over at last. Our seasons may be reversed, but your poetry is universal. Thanks for hosting Denise today, Beem.
