Background
Information

Mmarie, Monica Brinkman, originally hails from the East Coast, relocated to California where she resided for many years and is now living in the Midwest. Her background includes working in the administrative field, owning a small community theatre, performing in various musicals and plays as well as working as a singing telegram for 3 years. She has been part of many bands and choirs, done radio commercials and dabbles in oil and acrylic painting.
Major influences in my life are
#1, My mother who showed me the beauty of nature, the simple pleasures in life and always believed in my abilities
#2. My 11th grade teacher who saw the intelligence and capability her shy, quiet student possesed.
#3. My dear husband who loved my poetry, prose and writings; always encouraging me to go further with it, as I have now done with my first published book of poetry and now working on finishing my novel
#4. My father who taught me to help others and give back to the world. His guidance and morals are evident in the novel I am currently writing; it has helped me overcome all obstacles and live life to the fullest.

I urge all of you to view the video on my site showing the effects of E.B. on many of our young children.
This is a rare, congenital disease that, at present, has no cure or major funding.
If you purchase one of my books, I am donating a portion of the proceeds to EBMRF, a foundation that is doing research so that some day we can find a cure for our children.
