What You Need to Know About Me:
My name is Patricia Neely-Dorsey. I am from Tupelo, MS. I am a graduate of Boston University in Boston, Massachusetts and a proud member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. I have just recently published my first book of poetry entitled "Reflections of a Mississippi Magnolia: a life in poems" It is a true celebration of the south and things southern. There are so many negative connotations associated with Mississippi and the south in general. I want to show a flip side of the coin. There is much to love about this much maligned and misunderstood part of our country. In my book, using childhood memories, personal thoughts and dreams, I attempt to give a positive glimpse into the southern way of life.

"A CELEBRATION OF THE SOUTH AND THINGS SOUTHERN"

Southern Life

If you want a glimpse of Southern life,

come close and walk with me;

I'll tell you all the simple things,

that you are sure to see.

You'll see mockingbirds and bumblebees,

magnolia blossoms and dogwood trees,

caterpillars on the step,

wooden porches cleanly swept;

watermelons on the vine,

strong majestic Georgia pines;

rocking chairs and front yard swings,

junebugs flying on a string;

turnip greens and hot cornbread,

coleslaw and… Continue

Advice on Exploring Erotica in Your Writing

The landscape feels completely different. There is not just the hope to reach a mainstream audience with erotic novel, but the expectation that success is reaching everyone, not just the genre readers. Fifty Shades of Grey really raised the bar for that. At the same time, working…See More
