| Introduction | Passion is a funny thing. Yours could possibly be found in a person, a possession, a career...I found mine in books. Books of every genre, century, and ideology. And as I grew up and explored this passion in the written word, I found I also had a desire to extend that passion to creating my own writing. But of course life always tries to get in the way of what you're passionate about. So here I am today, a mother and a career woman. A student and a dreamer. And perhaps maybe even...a writer. |
