Timika’s Portfolio of Literary Works
Hi there,
I am a multi-genre writer residing in O’Fallon, Illinois, a trained Integrative Nutrition Health and Lifestyle Coach, and a bachelor’s and master ‘s-prepared nurse with over 20 years of healthcare experience. I write on health, healing, fitness, lifestyle, and parenting. In addition, I love transforming the foods of my favorite meals into healthier versions, gardening, watching biographies, comedy, and transformational movies, reading, and spending time with family and friends.
My goal is to help people remember who they are so that they can have the abundant life (in all realms) promised to them.
Two of my poems from my poetry manuscript, A Mind Unleashed, were recently accepted. “Success is in the Winter 2025 Westward Quarterly edition. Riadh has recently (01/25) accepted “Fatherless Daughters.”
I have fiction and nonfiction literary works. Lucinda Halpern’s book confirmed that I am an Idealist, Data Collector (refined by my collegiate and Graduate work), and Crusader working towards being an Everywhereist.
In addition, here is a link to health and wellness articles I did as a Freelancer for Diathrive: https://diathrive.com/enterprise/resources/author/timika-chambers-cde
Three ways to describe my voice:
- Genuine
- On Time
- Transcendent
I have literary works in fiction and nonfiction that I am currently querying. I make ongoing updates to this page.
