Reading and writing are two favorite interests of Sylvia Brown-Roberts. As a child, she wrote stories which she shared with others. Outside of school, Sylvia read whatever she could find, including cereal boxes, labels, building and street signs, newspapers, comic books, magazines, and story books. In her schooling, she studied courses that furthered her writing development.
Author Sylvia enjoys creating thought-provoking characters and placing them in realistic settings that challenge their faith.
