Queen of Spades

"If I were to describe myself, it would be Life Writer. Although I mainly write poetry and prose, I don't limit myself to a certain style nor a certain subject. I write about what I can relate to or if I can mirror someone else's experiences."--Queen of Spades

Queen of Spades has been writing since the age of eleven. She made her Internet poetry debut in the mid 1990's at Fireseek (later renamed Urban Poetic), then branched out to participate in International House of Poets as well as ventured into spoken word with talents featured at Vocalized Ink and House of Ra. She served as a hostess on the poetry collective, Soulful Branches: Simply Words as well as participated on the accompanying CD, Soulful Branches: Words and Sounds.

Afterwards, she published her first collection of poetry, Spaded Truths, soon followed by her second collection of poetry, Private Pain. After an almost seven year hiatus, she returns with her third collection, Reflections of Soul.

Her upcoming projects include Eclectic (skin version), Eclectic: Beyond the Skin (deluxe edition), and a second edition of both Spaded Truths and Private Pain. She is also working on her first short story collection, Continuous Drips (working title) with a targeted release date of fall/winter 2014.

In addition, she is also the co-founder of The Review Board--a site that gives reviews/constructive criticism on shows, movies, music, and especially self-published and independent writers.
