Pickens

i am the adult survivor of being a throwaway child. a great deal of my writing is straight from the heart . to relieve the stress and to cope with every day life .

though my heart has been damaged i am strong i shall walk in his kingdom where i belong.

i have provided my necessities from the age of 15 . working summers and going to school in the winters . having grown up in the snow belt i am very familiar with the cold snow and wind . wandering the streets at the age of 9 . only allowed to go inside the house after dark. .

seeking warmth under the dryer vents at the local laundromat in the winter

i am from a small town and like the country side life . at one point i was living under a tree . literally . it has taken me 58 years to start out of my shell thanks to my two best girls .

my rock and my bestie hugs to you both.

My book a maidens dream is an escape for the children. no need to think much, just relax and let young minds wander. yet at the same time have a sense of adventure. filled with excitement with sprinkles of magic thrown in
