I am a self-published author and poet of two chapbooks, "Walking this Messy Earth" (2015) and "Mothers and Daughters" (2014). I have also written a children's book, "The Waterlady: An Ozark Tale" (2014). You can find my books on Amazon.com. I was born in Brasil to missionaries, but grew up in Arkansas and now live in Missouri. I was home educated until college and I graduated from Berea College in Kentucky with a degree in English with a concentration in creative writing.
