Discovery: Poetry and Art by Rick and Jan Sikes

By Jan Sikes and Rick Sikes

When all of life is stripped away, left with no freedom except in his mind, one man journeys deep inside to discover his true self. He finds the only way to survive hopeless negativity is through creating with his hands and imagination. They confined his body in an iron cage, but could not lock away his mind.

Jan Sikes

Multi-Award winning author, Jan Sikes, began her writing journey around the age of eight. Primarily, the stories she writes are true stories about the journey of two people moving through adversity in order to grow and learn to become better humans. She believes with all her heart, there is something worth sharing in these stories. Bits and pieces of wisdom, hard-learned lessons and above and beyond all, love...True love that you read about in fiction stories...and yet this is truth. The old saying, truth is stranger than fiction fits these stories.
