About the Book

All the students filed out of class quickly, the teacher stood in the hall, yelling at them to walk and not run through the halls on their way to lockers and carpools. The few unlucky guys and girls in the back of the crowd of people pushing, and shoving to get to the front were made to wait in line by the teachers until the crowd thinned out a bit. While all this was going on, I made my way to the low bookcase in my class and bent over my open back pack digging around inside, making a show of looking for something. As the last person ran from the room, I made my move, I started shoving books into my bag to take home and read. Yes, I was stealing books, how pathetic right? I know, but I couldn't help myself, you see, I am a voracious reader with a non-existent budget for books. I'm an only child of a single, divorced mom. My mom works full time as a home healthcare nurse, she works a lot of overtime to take care of us. We are not poor exactly, but there is a definite shortage of funds. I was just pushing the last book into my bag when my teacher came up behind me and asked me what I was doing. She turned me around and took my bag from me.
About the Author: I am a mother and an author of short stories, children's books and poetry. I have always had a deep appreciation and love for words, and their power to move people and fire the imagination. This love began when I learned to read. I would sneak away to a quiet place and wrap up in a blanket and bury my nose in a book for hours on end. I would be exploring wild science fiction adventures and getting caught up in the romance of the classics. Reading became for me my, "Great escape" and it is initially what lead me to seek out a career in writing. This love of words and creating stories was fostered by my mom and aunts, three intelligent and creative women who shared a love for reading, writing and expressionism in many forms. So it is no wonder that I have arrived at my chosen path. Aside from writing short stories, children's tales, and poetry, I also enjoy drawing, painting, photography, and cooking. If you are interested in knowing a little more about me, check out one of my writings called; Growing Up, it details a bit more about my upbringing, childhood and how I got my start. It is my distinct pleasure to display, for your entertainment my copyrighted works as my own form of expression. Enjoy!
