My motivation first and foremost is GOD! He gave me the ability to write and create, and I am motivated by his grace. Then comes my mother who bought my first typewriter at the age of nine. She always loved my stories and encouraged me to become someone. In the literary world,..Teri Woods, at one point was my idol...Her story of coming up, hustling to get her books read made me want to go further than printing the book for myself, and of course my best friends Nelressa Stallings and Valerie "Tang" Ritchwood...they always push me and keep me up when I am down!
