So, you want to know a little bit about me? Well, I was born December 4, 1971 to a wonderful supportive mother, Michele Bowen. She encouraged me constantly and consistently and instilled in me the belief that I could be and do anything I set my mind to. She stressed education and creativity, enrolling me in the best schools or the best programs in the so-so ones. I attribute everything I've ever learned to her interest in me as a child.
I have been writing as long as I can remember. I used to write short stories, plays and poems all the time. Somewhere along the way, I lost my love for it all. It was probably about the time I discovered that I was "cute" and headed out to the land of me, me, me. But God...
After many storms in my life and a failed marriage, my best friend encouraged me to go to church. I heard a dynamic preacher, Pastor Corey B. Brooks, and gave my life to the Lord. I have not looked back. Immediately, He brought to my remembrance my love for the written word and I was back on track. This time, though, everything I write is for His glory. Thank You Jesus!
God has blessed me with a wonderful husband, Reverend Brian K. Howard, who is truly my soul mate. We complement each other in every way. Thank God for second chances. We have 5 children between the two of us; Brandon, 20, Briyona, 14, Braelyn, 13, Brea, 5, and Brooke, 3. (No comments!)
Right now I am working on novel # 2, entitled "After Bobby", which is about a family's struggle to recover after the tragic death of the title character, and continuing to serve the ministry. Continue to pray for me (or start if you haven't yet!) I have finally decided to self-publish. I have shopped "Sassy" for 2 years with no success to the agents that I wanted to represent me. They were very encouraging but unwilling to take me on at this time. Now, I feel led to go this route. I believe God is going to do a mighty work through me and "Sassy" may be the vehicle He uses to open that door. God bless you all. Check out the rest of my website.
