Writing has always been a way for me to express and sometimes a way to release my emotions. I love to express my feelings in words and have the ability to bring the reader into my world. I took Creative Writing in College so I could improve my writing abilities and start publishing my works. I have had several poems published; one with the National Poets Society, and in 2010 my first Children's book was published as well. I was the only girl out of six boys and was also the youngest, needless to say I learn alot, because I picked up many different traits from each of my brothers; but beleive me I had to fight my way into their good graces. Having their younger sister hanging around was not cool, so I had to learn to hold my own. All of my brothers were born in Baltimore Maryland, then my parents moved to Salem, Virginia in 1962 and a little over a year later they had me. Mom always said it was the clean Salem air that finally brought her a daughter. I have an eighteen year old son who is attending Roanoke College, majoring in Business. He also loves to write and draw. I guess he takes after his mother. He also likes rebuilding cars with his father who is a car guru, along with being an amazing machinic, maintenance and handy man. He can work on or fix anything. He is also a wonderful, supportive husband. I am so very thankful for my loving family they are my foundation.ver menos
