MY STORY​ 

HELLO

​ALL MY LIFE I HAD BOOKS AS COMPANIONS AND THEY ARE A BLESSING. 

 WRITING A BOOK HAD ALWAYS BEEN MY DREAM SINCE CHILDHOOD. 
AS A TEEN GOD'S HOLY WORDS SAVED ME FROM ANXIETY AND FEAR. 

GOD GAVE ME WORDS OF POETRY AND ONCE I WROTE THEM DOWN THEY BECOME LONG ENOUGH FOR A BOOK.
FROM THERE I WENT ON TO PUBLICALLY SELLING MY BOOKS AT LOCAL QUEENS NYC LIBRARIES AND CHURCH BOOK EVENTS FOR THE FIRST TIME!
I STARTED GETTING OUT AND MAKING AN IMPACT BECAUSE OF SELF PUBLISHING. FROM CHECKING OFF THIS BUCKET LIST DREAM IT OPENED MORE DOORS THAN I THOUGHT POSSIBLE.
IT WASN'T UNTIL AFTER THE FIRST BOOK ACCOMPLISHMENT DID I REALIZE WHAT I WAS MISSING. I WANTED TO HELP POTENTIAL AUTHORS DO THE SAME THING. 

​THAT IS WHY YOU ARE HERE, RIGHT!!? YOU WANT TO PUBLISH YOUR BOOK ONE DAY TOO... I CAN HELP YOU!

writing Since age 13.  I HAVE written volumes of unpublished short stories and poems of which I haVE been savIng as a teenager.  I Spent countless hours imagining other worlds. while in college I started to write more fiction.  I DREAMT OF ONE DAY BECOMING A PUBLISHED WRITER.

Today MY desire has come true through faith and now I simply want to encourage, entertain, inspire and enlighten in a positive and spiritually uplifting way. Through MY own life I haVE experianced heartache and discouragement and I AM determined to inspire others through MY poems.
