Jody SereyJody Serey is a writer and editor with many years of experience in both professional and creative/fine arts arenas. Her published works vary widely and wildly, but poetry remains her favorite use of words. Her published works range from books, short tories, poems, plays, song lyrics, children's stories, and musicals (librettos), to corporate publications and Web sites. Works range in length from a handful to hundreds of pages. She has co-written several books, and she has won awards for her poetry. In speaking about her craft, she says, "I try to keep my fine arts skills sharpened, along with my 'day job' skills. It is essential that I keep excited about writing, especially as the public ceases to read with the appetite it once had. But recently, there does seem to be a resurgence in interest in reading, which gives me great hope."Jody also serves as a pastoral officiant and currently assist with approximately 50 celebrations or commemorations a year, including weddings, commitment ceremonies, memorial services, and other life observances.
