Denise Rodgers spent the first twenty-eight years of her life working in the family jewelry business in Metro Detroit, followed by another more than twenty-something years running a home-based advertising company that catered to (you guessed it!) jewelers around the country. At the same time, she wrote and published two poetry books and a website of funny children’s poetry. Many of her poems have also been published in anthologies and text books around the globe. Rodgers' most recent work, Deadly Diamonds , is a funny murder mystery novel featuring woman sleuth Bella Blumer. It takes place in a jewelry store in Royal Oak, a suburb of Detroit. The second book of the series, Murderous Emeralds will be launched March 7, 2016. ...more

(Although I really, really like my Mac Air a lot!) It's a gift you give yourself that you can also share with others. And you can grow and change with it. I still get excited each time I buy a new thick notebook or a nice gel pen. It just never gets old.(less)

“It struck me as pretty ridiculous to be called Mr. Darcy and to stand on your own looking snooty at a party. It's like being called Heathcliff and insisting on spending the entire evening in the garden, shouting "Cathy" and banging your head against a tree.”

Hi Beth,
