ABOUT
THE AUTHOR
I'm thirty nine, recently single again. I have two boys Cli' (pronounced clee) Real name Christopher and Mark. I'm a care in the community nurse and formerly (when I was married) an occupational Therapist working with the mentally ill on a secure unit. I love reading and writing and meeting people. I hate offal, seafood and intolerance. I keep dog, cat, polecats, rats and reptiles. And for seven years ran the second largest reptile sanctuary in Britain. Apart from having my lads, I think that's probably the most worthwhile thing I've ever done. Writing wise, I've been the main fiction writer for Legends magazine for three years.And have two books published 'Lizard's Leap' published by Quillusers, and 'Better the Devil You Know' soon to be released by Bestbooks.Um I drive a knackered old Astra, and ride a two litre trike. I live in the lake district of England, and am happy. :-)

Galaxy
Sue (Sooz) Simpson
Take me to a mountain top and show me Jupiter
Let Venus bear witness
And Mars be our guide
To the heavens of heartbeats as vast and wide
As our new beginning
Wrap your velvet love around me
And I�ll lie in the shawl of your arms
Mercury seeps droplets of love
And Saturn delights in your charms
On a blanket of moon draped grass discover
How the galaxy glitters when friends drift to lovers
Let�s lie back and see what the stars have to say
I want to hear Venus take me away
Until I touch Saturn and realise it�s you
It�s only ever you
My guide to the moon and the stars and the sky
My key to the heavens and learning to fly
My anchor at daybreak and freedom to soar
You are my galaxy you are my star
Let Venus bear witness
And Mars be our guide
Because you are my freedom to fly
