    About this ebook

    I love nature, writing, and music! Nature and my writing always work together.

    The Cottage in the Wood is a short story in an unknown country in a time of long ago. Analina, one of the two main characters, goes out into a most unusual and beautiful forest. It is a forest where Analina looks for her own true self and is also looking for a true friend. It is also a Christmas story.

    In Les Pomes I have written several poems. They are a search for meaning in life in the Universe and on the Earth. There are quite a few poems about a troubadour and a poetess. These poems have much to do with nature and genuine love.

    The troubadour, of course, sings his songs.

    This poetry is rather mystical, and some of it relates to God. Some of it, I would say, is quite simple, but a lot of thought has gone into it.

    When I write any story or poetry at all, it comes to me. I can never force it. It either comes, or it does not come. Of course, I have to work with it quite a lot, but I cannot exactly explain to you how it happens. I am not certain what the driving force is that sparks the creativity.

      Summer: A Love Story

      Apr 20, 2021

      It is a squalid time. The body grows tired of being a body. Sweat. Always. A thin film of it on the skin. Do not say dewy. Do not say glisten. I dream of endless green. Of wet. Of rain hammering the Earth. Of buds sprouting. I want to insist on life

      I Shall See You Coming Over The Heathered Dune

      When I look up into the sky,

      Whether it be day or night,

      I always feel such a great peace

      At the brilliant sight.

      I often think of you, my beloved,

      Knowing that we will be together soon.

      You are Le Troubadour that I love,

      And I shall see you coming over the heathered dune.

      You will hold me in your arms.

      You will sing your songs to me,

      Tell me so many stories,

      And I shall read
