Daltonell C. Minors

Dal (as she is known by family and friend) is first and foremost a wife, mother, sister, aunt, friend and grandmother - these relationships are very often the source of her writing. Her free time is spent relaxing, reading, writing, playing games and creating memories with her two grandchildren, Khol and Kwinn. Dal has been married to her best friend and husband for 29 years and together they have three adult children. She has been an educator for more than thirty years in her beautiful island home of Bermuda, holding a variety of posts in both public and private education. Currently, she is a teacher at Elliot Primary School in Devonshire, Bermuda.
