I was born and raised in Pacoima, CA. I now reside in Laguna Beach, CA. with my teenage son and young daughter. i enjoy writing, singing, movies, reading and spending quality time with my family.  I work with the mentally and physically handicapped and it has been my occupation for over 6 years. I was inspired to write the Darker the Berry the Deeper the Roots as therapy to help overcome my troubled childhood. My passion for storytelling shows in my writing. My aim is to inspire people who have gone through or who are going through similar situations as the main character to have faith and stay strong so that they too can make it out of the darkness. I wrote Adia(love lies and murder) to show my diversity. Adia is refreshing, different and crazy! I have a new series out titled Number One Fan parts 1-3. It's a suspensefilled series that will leave you breathless! I can be reached at queen.brown@gmail.com
