Hello,

Beating the Odds is my first book. I am very excited about Beating the Odds. The book cover is in a light blue shade which represents the main character of the story last name which is Blue. The color light blue represents Sophia Blue will to persevere for a brighter days in her life.

I choose the character on the cover to be black or look like a shadow, because of the darkness of some of times that Sophia Blue had to endure as a child and as an adult.

I wrote this book to encourage others that perseverance is a stepping stone to a better life.

I like movies and books based on true events. My new book Beating the Odds is based on true events. I taught Sunday School for over 30 years at the same Church ages 6-8 years of age. In the future I will also be creating children books.

Mostly every Friday I go to the same restaurant to pick up or order delivered from the same restaurant the same food which is Egg foo Yong and Lo mein or Egg foo Yong and sesame chicken and fried rice. Once I get home with my take out, if not working on my books I will watch movies till I fall asleep.

In college I was not an inspired writer I went for Fashion and Design Merchandising. The college professors were not impress with my writing skills. To improve my writing skills at a college level the professors advise me to take 11 different levels of English classes through out my four years in college which I did. I truly love writing.
