About me

Gender Female
Location FL, United States
Introduction I grew up on the edge of the magnificent Okefenokee Swamp in south Georgia. The little village I grew up in, Council GA doesn't have any inhabitants anymore, but for the first 18 years of my life, it was my whole world. Growing up there was unique in a way I can only describe with my stories or poems. It inspires me when I write. I love to write poems, stories, creative nonfiction pieces. I've lived in the Deep South all my life (Georgia & Florida) so much of my inspiration has a Southern slant to it :) I write what comes into my head, often through my heart. Writing is therapeutic and very necessary for me as a means of understanding the world and my place in it.
Interests Life, Death and all that lies between.
