I write poetry, musical lyrics, and sometimes I write short stories. My very first book "Love Poems" can be found on Amazon.com and Estore.com. I hope to publish more books in the future.
I grew up in Texas, in the USA. I am the youngest out of four children. I grew up fighting off Dyslexia. My case of Dyslexia was taking simple directions in words and making them harder to follow then they seemed. I also have a tendencey to miss-spell or confuse the order of numbers and letters in words. When I was 7 years old, I had a school teacher, she asked us to look at this picture of a family sitting down to dinner. After looking it over, we were then asked to write a small page of what we thought their thoughts were as they sat to eat supper. I was the only child to write up to 5 pages. When my teacher read this out loud, is when I knew the one she was proud of was me, but she ended the story in tears. Every day after that she made me write a story each day. When I was moving on to next level in school, I thought my torture had ended, torture because each time I wrote a story, I had huge head aches. But she told my next teacher to make me write for her and that one passed it to the next...
Now, I have won several small poetry awards. And I am proud to say I have also just published my first book.
Funny how dreams start from the smallest of seeds.
Life is short.. find a way to live it happily.
