More About Jody:

Jody Collins offers people encouragement & practices to deepen their walk with God by making friends with poetry. She is the author of three books, a recent poet and past freelance editor. Her writing first appeared back when Smith Corona typewriters and newspapers were a thing. She then discovered the world of online writing in 2012 and has been there ever since.

Jody and her husband are Southern California transplants to the Seattle area where they’ve lived for 30 years. When not visiting grandkids, she enjoys watching birds from the back deck and messing about in her garden. They traded sunshine for seasons and love it. Except she does miss the beach. You can find more of her work at jodyleecollins.com.
