    About this ebook

    Another biographical offering from Freya Pickard, tracing her development both as a person and a poet from her early twenties to mid-forties.

     

    Freya Pickard is a cancer survivor, whose fight for life has forever changed her. These changes are reflected in a variety of poems she permits to be published here.

     

    Initially determined to be single, Freya reveals what it was like to discover her soulmate. Enjoying physical and mental fitness, she tells how she struggles post cancer.

     

    Always an observer, Freya looks within and without to catalogue her journey through an eventful life.

     

    You don't need to have read either Insides or My Mythology, but if you have, you'll find This Is Me continues the threads of imagination and post-cancer trauma.

    Author

    Freya Pickard

    Pushcart Prize nominee, Freya Pickard, is the quirky, unusual author of The Kaerling series, an epic fantasy set in the strange and wonderful world of Nirunen. A cancer survivor, she writes mainly dark fantasy tales and creates expressive poetry in order to leach the darkness from her soul. Her aim in life is to enchant, entertain and engage with readers through her writing. She finds her inspiration in the ocean, the moors, beautifully written books and vinyl music (particularly heavy metal and rock). She enjoys Hatha Yoga, Bhangra and Yogalates and in her spare time creates water colours and pastel drawings of the worlds in her head.
