She still has many short stories and essays that were never published due to time restraints.Several years ago, she wrote and published a nonfiction book entitled Our Rank, Our Freedom, Our Power, plus she has written numerous newspaper articles, as well as editorials, and feature stories.
Smith published Black-Eyed peas and Turnip Greens about eight years ago to test the market. Her real estate business required too much time to followthrough to expand, re-edit and finalize it into a marketable book until after retirement. It is her first book to be published at ninety-two years old.
Everyone who read the book urged her to publish it. A literary professor was extremely excited about it, describing it another To Kill a Mockingbird. Smith's talents include a part-time career as a professional artist in watercolor, oil, and pastels, and computer graphic arts.
The author is a lifetime nature worshiper who loves fishing, gardening, photography, and painting. She also is political 'news junky' who is fascinated by history and politics.view less
