A Simple Reminder

written by: John Patrick Robbins

Must we be entertained by the mindless?
Than simply using our own.

I opened a bottle and started writing what you're reading now.

You're never alone with your thoughts, simply the question is:

Are you ready or willing to face the truths of your existence unshielded?

The lights are off but I'm always home.

Laura M. Baird

Wife, mother, former U.S. Army sergeant, and dental hygienist, Laura can now add published author to the list. She continues to work as a dental hygienist, which she’s done for over 19 years, hoping to transition out of that within a handful of years and make writing a full-time endeavor. Her publishing dreams came true (at the age of 50!) in 2017. Since then, she’d had the fortune to work with multiple publishers and connect with fantastic people. A voracious reader herself, she strives to write stories she can be proud of and enjoyed by many; ones that are not only sexy and fun, but thoughtful as well. When younger, her love of writing started with poetry after encouragement from her 4th grade teacher. She continues to write poetry, prose, and short stories, enjoying the challenges of various styles. She’s honored to have been recognized as Author of the Month with Spillwords.
