| Introduction | I should have known I wanted to be a writer when I used to bring my diary to first grade and read it out loud--real LOUD to the class. At eleven I wrote a sinister version of a trauma I had as a child. Everyone on the school bus made such a BIG commotion reading it that the bus driver had to take it away. I never saw it again. My love for writing blossomed, and it gestated...a LONG time. Tidbit: I host a weekly Open Vocal Jazz & Jam Session, sing and write songs. I'm the mother of two tween-age boys, an illustrator and member of SCBWI. And. . . I eat dark chocolate EVERY DAY! |
