Talisa A. Garcia is a graduate of Michigan State University with a corporate background/profession. She has spent her professional career in a variety of different roles working for various corporations. Talisa currently resides in South Carolina. She began her writing journey as a “punishment” handed down by her 5th-grade teacher for being a disturbance to the class. While the rest of the class enjoyed going to the gym, Talisa sat in her classroom alone with her 5th-grade teacher and was made to cursive write a five-page story by hand of her choice. Talisa enjoyed completing that assignment. The desire to create and tell stories through writing has been with her ever since.
