Autorenporträt
Born and raised in Washington, DC, I wrote my first story in the fifth grade, but didn't consider writing a profession as I pondered on career choices. After 33 years of service to at-risk youth and 23 years of non-profit management, I decided to pursue my passion. By faith, I left the workforce and devoted five years to complete my debut novel, Mirrors of Life. During that time, I took online novel courses and joined writing communities to learn the technical aspects of writing to perfect my craft. I received first place for a short story contest and recognition for other projects. My experiences in life, which includes my college courses in Social Problems and Human Behavior, prepared me to write this novel. www.owenspublishing.com
