Hey there, it's me Denise Morgan, an artist, shop assistant, mother of one and a biophile. In my spare time, I pen poetry, haikus and have written a suspense fiction, Vengeance of a Jilted Dressmaker, a tale of unrequited love, betrayal and murder, published on e-book websites. Presently, I'm working on a sequel. When I'm not writing away, I paint landscapes, abstracts and portraits.  My local gallery display my paintings from time to time and one of my poetry books, The Crux of Being, housed in my local library, gives me an awesome sense of achievement.

I'm so excited to find this platform to share and entertain you with my art and poetry, which I hope you enjoy, of course. I'm also interested to see what you have to share with me. I'm open to your comments, opinions... whatever you have to say. The image of me above is so yesterday, but one that I love: weird, wonderful and quirky.
