    About this ebook

    Romantic Goth poetry filled with sexual tension, anger, desire and sometimes...fear. Black Iris is the first of the Shadows of The Heart Series. Renee Robinson writes of soulmates and deep love...Love grows deep and flowers and sometimes is cursed. The delicate Iris turns to glass and shatters as a monster named Cancer enters to destroy the life the couple has built together. A must read for loving couples who faced with cancer.

    Renee Robinson

    I am in the final stages of metastatic colon cancer. I have just finished my 26th round of chemotherapy. In 2 weeks, I will have another scan to see which organ in my body Cancer has chosen to dance with next. It has been a very difficult time. My writing has helped me to deal with death as if it is some sort of supernatural being I need to fight and expel myself. I have to go deep within myself and find my own inner peace and magic. Writing makes me happy, perhaps it is my armor. Perhaps my story is meant to be shared. Words are Power. Words are strength. Words are my legacy. Words touch the heart, the soul and the spirit. I pray my words help in the fight with cancer. Is it possible words can heal?
