A message from this author:
No matter what medium art takes; canvas, clay, or words on paper, the message isn’t so much what it means to the artist, but rather what the piece says to the observer. I hope my work speaks to you.

Titles By Julie L. Kusma
Being a mouse, she longs for the simplicity of nature. So, every day she sneaks past the woods and into the meadow where she writes her inspired words. She might even find encouragement from a friend to submit her poems.
This is Evie's story of finding her authentic self, becoming brave enough to do what she loves, and ultimately sharing her gift with the world as The Poetry Mouse.
So, pop a bag of popcorn and prepare yourself and your child for the exciting world of circus clowns, elephants, and acrobats. Your child will be entertained with notions of silliness, animal tricks, and tightrope walkers.
So, read the magical poetry of “The Enchanted Faerie Realm.” Find happiness strolling through the Faerie Realm, and let the magic come home with you.
You’ll also find faeries to color, a journal to record your dreams, and a faerie’s guide to writing poetry.
Love poems are some of the most intimate when it comes to poetry. Amore, The Lighter Half, Volume 2 will make you blush; make your heart realize what it yearns for. Each poem brings you closer to the sweet surrender of the heart.
Your toes will tingle, your soul will soar, and your state of mind will change. This book will make you believe in the concept of forevermore. You will understand that to be spiritually and emotionally entwined to another is the best kind of magic.
Emotion is an action and reaction influenced by the supernatural and the natural world around us.
As you read each poem that flows so effortlessly from beginning to end, you become aware of every element interacting with our mind, body, and soul. It becomes evident that we are part of everything, and everything is part of us.
This book will be the magic you need to find renewal and refresh your essence of life.
This poetry melts as golden honey over every inch of your mind. The words will gently caress you and give you permission to dream naughty scenarios with your partner.
You will find yourself breathing deep, sighing often, and daydreaming of lovemaking. Every poem lights the way to emotional, spiritual, and physical pleasure. Unchaste is the perfect book for your Soulmate or the ideal gift for your Forevermore.
Your first stop on this planetary voyage will be in the Milky Way Galaxy, where you will observe unique constellations and other galactic objects.
You’ll be guided through the solar system, where you’ll be introduced to the different types of planets. Each planet is unique in its composition; some may be uninhabitable, while others may suggest the possibility of life.
Next, you’ll meet past and present astronomers and what they are most famous for.
At the end of your glorious planetary journey, you’ll find coloring book pages, a board game, and a passport game. Links to additional learning resources are also provided.
This short story cycle is a blend of psychological suspense, horror, soft science-fiction, alternate universe, and alternate history, thematically tied together by outcomes that are unanticipated, unintentional, and always unexpected.
The Many Worlds of Mr. A. Skouandy, the title story that bookends nine tales in between, is presented in the postmodern collage style, including admission forms and patient sketches before each piece and doctor’s notes after each. The stories can be read separately, but when read sequentially, a much larger story is revealed, generating this unique psychological horror novella.
