About the Author

I am the youngest of three girls.  I have one daughter.  My mom who was my closest friend passed January 14, 2006.  I presently live in East St. Louis, Illinois.

I am currently employed as a teacher for the St. Louis Public Schools.

I am a member of Macedonia Baptist Church in East St. Louis, Rev. Dr. Norman E. Owens is my pastor. Pastor Owens has been instrumental in allowing me to develop my God given gift of writing.  I have written and performed several plays in local churches. My first drama, “God Who Needs Him” won first place in a Young Writers Contest.  Recently I created a monthly newsletter entitled, “Blessed to be a Blessing” to share God’s goodness with the world.

As I serve God in the avenues he had opened to me as an Inspirational Writer, Motivational Speaker, Teacher and Author my message to the world is, “With God all things are possible.”

Before I began writing Living Under The Influence I conducted a field study to find out if reading was a leisure activity for people and if not why not?  An overwhelming majority stated reading was not a leisure activity because they didn’t have time to read and books are too expensive. Living Under The Influence is a quick and easy read that is modestly priced.  Therefore , you can’t afford not to get a copy.
