| I'm just a country girl who always had a passion to write my thoughts and an occasional romantic poem. I have one son and a granddaughter, both of whom I love dearly. I'm currently seeking my Bachelors Degree in Business Management and on to receive my Masters. May of 2003 is when I realized that it was time to stop doodling and become a writer. I packed up my bags three months later, said my goodbyes to my family and moved to Austin, Texas. A place I had never been and a place where I knew no-one. A city where I studied, stressed, recovered and finished my first novel "Love in my Teardrops." Then on to complete the sequel "When my Tears Cry" as of November 2004. Only to find myself in the "What do I do next" stage. In my determination to learn and do everything myself, so that I wouldn't find myself ignorant to my craft in progress, I began the final stages of my journey. After completing my journey of learning the A's through the W stages, I headed towards the home stretch of getting the finished product to you. With a lot of prayer, determination and an understanding family. This has been a wonderful experience for me and I truly hope I don't let "YOU" the reader down. Enjoy the read and thanks for stopping by. Vanessa Hollis |
