My blogging journey began in 2011, when I started sharing my poetry. In 2013, I began self-publishing poetry collections, a path that eventually led to the release of my memoir in verse and prose. Over the years, I stepped out of my comfort zone to explore fiction, sharing several short stories along the way.

In 2024, I proudly published my first children’s book, followed in 2025 by a heartfelt poetry collection honoring our beloved chocolate Lab, Copper. Today, I’m working on my second children’s book and another collection of poems, excited to continue sharing stories and poetry with readers of all ages.

Above all, I hope you’ll take away something special during your visit that prompts you to return to my corner of this warm, literary community.

Review by Poet, Margaret (Maggie) Watson:

I smiled and I cried while reading this beautiful collection of poetry written in tribute to Lauren’s Labrador, Copper.I loved all the poems, particularly the ones signed ‘Love Copper’ and ‘Your Copper Boy.’ Lauren also included many lovely photographs of this handsome boy, on his own, and with members of her family. I felt the pain of her grief in “Tail Wag” as she writes, “I walk through the door, no senior pup trots up to me, greeting with a tail wag, oh, my aching heart”. And in the section of the book titled “Still too Soon”, Lauren tells of her last moments spent with Copper and then the agonizing decision made after taking him to Pet Emergency. The depth of love for Copper is apparent throughout this collection. To quote Lauren again, “unconditional love, what could be better?”. I believe that is why we feel their loss so much, because that kind of love is irreplaceable. Lauren had the joy of owning this beautiful dog for thirteen years, and I am sure he is still wagging his tail on Rainbow Bridge, with so much love for his owner. Thank you, Lauren, for sharing Copper with the world.
