Cosmopolitan Essays (1886)

I was born November 8, 1960, in a military hospital at Ft. Monroe, Virginia. I spent most of my childhood on military bases around the world. I was sixteen years old when we retired to Atlanta, Georgia. Ever since I can remember, Iave written poems and short stories. Iave had one short story published by the school system and put in school libraries in my sophomore year in high school. Iave also had poems published nationally and internationally through Poetry.com. Writing poems and short stories is a way of relaxing or venting my emotions. For the last ten-plus years, Iave designed greeting cards for personal use, as well as through my church. I am currently living in a suburb of Atlanta with my husband and son. We have two dogs, one cat and an American Koi pond.
