Born in 1963 in a suburb of Birmingham, AL. A daughter and sister, a mother and now a grandmother,I have spent my life caring for all those around me. Now with my youngest getting ready to graduate and head off to college I have found the time to publish the chronicled stories of my favorite characters, some of which were created while I was in the first grade. A weaver of tales since my youth, as O. G. Tomes, I now spin the yarn creating a story line from the cloth of my life, meshing the old with the new giving way for my readers to rethink the whole concept of "good vs. evil". I write from my quaint home atop the mountain that for centuries has been home to my family. Some of my first memories are of telling stories to my siblings at bedtime. As I grew older, I was always the one requested to 'tell a story' around the fire at summer camp. The 'consumate narrator' on almost any topic usually kept me close to the line of trouble in school. I write, love my family, shoot a mean game of pool, garden, paint, sew, make my own wine, fish,drive fast cars and enjoy harley rides preferably in places like the US 129, the Dragon's Tail, 318 curves in 11 miles! I am a postive person. My glass is always half full. I believe that laughter can heal the heart and soul of almost anyone. I have a gentle heart but my soul houses a fierce protector, especially of children and the elderly..........I am who I am.. O.G. that would be...........ME!
