A retired teacher with thirty six years in the Texas Education System, she taught various levels of English, including Advanced Placement courses with writing as a main component of the syllabus. She credits the New Jersey Writing Clinic as a major influence in her writing.
Having heard numerous versions and read many letters and accounts from her mother, uncles, aunt and grandfather, she decided to tell their story through the eyes of her mother, adding details researched from various sources and creating dialog from her intuition and mother's personal letters. She volunteers as a writing lab instructor at a local private school, providing more opportunities for 6, 7 and 8th graders to express themselves in written form and enjoys reading and writing in her spare time.lihat lebih sedikit
