A quieting debut poetry collection. Sipping Red shares intuitively simple slice of life snapshots of everyday moments. With the title poem a repeated theme as anchor, the book invites acknowledging opportunities for meditative awareness and mindful choices for savoring a slower pace of living.

“The Collection is beautiful. Poems laced with haiku to conjure small snippets of life. It takes such eloquence to offer up a scene with so few words, but Hazel does just that. By the fifth syllable you feel like you’re no longer in your own life…”

My first book is about running. Running from not being able to run to running a marathon. I wrote this as a runner's memoir through the eyes of non-runner. It evolved into passionate, candid observations of the physical, emotional, and socio-economic aspects of a sport attainable to the average athlete. Whether you're an experienced runner, or sport newbie, I hope Running to Zen offers a genuine snapshot of what you will encounter on this wonderous wellness experience of health and fitness.
