Her wagon was a 55 Chevy sedan. She has always been a prolific reader of all kinds of books and with all the other members of her family a lover of ‘words’. She considers herself a wordsmith. She has observed the domestic violence that occurs in this country and has tried to imagine a way to change the way the women think about themselves. She began her writing career in 1995 with writing poetry, a style of writing she had never liked and still doesn’t understand, but just poured out of her she said. She moved on to short stories and this is the first novel she has ever published.view less
