Nadine Derby-Thomas is an author, wife and mother. She started writing short stories at thirteen while in high school. Nadine would spend every free minute writing stories in her school books, or whatever she could get her hands on. After reading a few of her stories, her peers encouraged her to keep it up and maybe one day, make it into a career. She lapsed into "life" for a few years and her writing took a backstage, but she never forgot her passion. Nadine embraced the professional world and became a successful Marketing Executive. After a few years: an older and wiser Nadine took up where she left off, the words flowed as they did in the past. Nadine currently resides in Miami, Fl with her wife and daughter where she continues to write her stories and poems.
