Produktbeschreibung
Elise Skidmore has been a writer since childhood, with poetry being her focus for many years. It's her way of working through dark times and celebrating the joyful ones. WHEN WINTER COMES is her sixth volume of poetry. Two of her earlier anthologies were finalists for Epic eBook Awards. Though poetry is her focus, she has also published a book of short stories. A New Yorker by birth, Elise lives on the south shore of Long Island with her husband. They enjoy spending time together and love to travel. She is also an amateur photographer and her original photography can be seen in all her books. I've read POEMS FROM THE EDGE OF SPRING, and can highly recommend it! The sort of book you can pick up for a moment's respite or inspiration or just sit and read from piece to piece, always entertained/comforted/made to think. Lovely book! >Poignant and lyrical, every sentence is a gem. >Warm and accessible, Ms. Skidmore's poetry shines. Her love of the simple things, of home and family, evokes memories and feelings common to us all, and her sure hand strokes the iron string that runs through every heart. >If you love poetry, WHEN LEAVES FALL will fill a new corner of your heart. If you think you don't like poetry, its achingly simple beauty will prove you wrong. --Linda Grimes, author of Tor Books' Ciel Halligan series

Autorenporträt
Elise Skidmore is a native New Yorker, who has been writing poetry since she was a child. In 1994, when her husband and several of her friends were trying to get her interested in email and switching from a typewriter to a computer, she stumbled upon Compuserve's Literary forum (Today it's called the Books and Writers Community). There she met a bunch of wonderful people, including her favorite author, Diana Gabaldon, who helped broaden her horizons and delve into fiction writing as well as poetry. She eventually joined the staff, spending nearly 10 years as the section leader of the Writing Exercises and in Compuserve's Poetry Forum. In 2004, when Compuserve opened to the web, she and a friend started a private writers' forum called SectionSixx, which nurtured writers for more than 10 years.

Elise lives on Long Island with her husband of 40+ years and feels blessed to have had the best parents, husband, and children a woman could ask for. The strong bonds of family are often the subject of her writing, but there aren't many topics she's afraid to tackle, including stories of vampires, devil possession, WWII POW camps, and gunslingers in the old west.

Her hobbies include reading, photography, travel, and making people smile.
