In My Mother's Arms

About the Book

My book is about real life poetry, I often write from my heart about how I feel at any given time. When I was 8 years old I was shy, but I can remember when my third grade English teacher told me to write a story about how I felt on that particular day. I wrote about feeling happy! And I felt good when I expressed how I felt through pen and paper. That was the day in which I fell in love with writing. The style of writing in which I use is free writing, and I keep my writing as real to life as possible. I love creating short stories; therefore I have a variety for adults, teens, and children. I write non-fiction, fiction, poetry, short stories, and prose. The majority of my literature stems from real life experiences.
