“Everything to Me” – a poem
Posted by Marie Lavender
Everything to Me
Every time you leave, I yearn more for you.
When we’re apart, nothing feels right until we’re reunited.
I could spend a lifetime learning the many facets of you and I’d never get tired.
I can see the love in your eyes and I reciprocate it.
You show your feelings in so many ways…
You take care of me,
you listen,

Check out my author interview on The Books Machine Blog!
November 19, 2014
AUTHOR INTERVIEW: Marie Lavender
TBM: How do you imagine the ideal reader of your book?
ML: I imagine the ideal reader of my book to be a romantic who doesn’t mind bit of history and suspense thrown into a love story. Anyone who loves a good story and enjoys a thrill while learning about new places would be a potential reader.
TBM: How was the writer inside of you born?
ML: When I was young, I absolutely loved the written word! I would pour over books, eating up the narratives within. My imagination was huge and my family would often find me acting out my own stories with dolls and such. This eventually translated into writing stories, and I’ve been writing them ever since.

TBM: What genres do you work with and why are you attracted to these forms of writing?
ML: I write romance because I love showing how…
