After practicing the art of writing for nearly a decade, and with only a few stories and poems to show, Star realized that to be a serious writer, she would have to return to college and learn the particulars of the craft. Fortuitously, she signed up for an English class taught by Professor Robert Kirk, Ph.D., who became her biggest fan. He encouraged her to enter her writing in an upcoming competition, which she won, "hands down" according to her benefactors. She also placed in a Writer’s Digest contest in which the editor wrote: “This year’s contest attracted over 9,000 entries.

He agreed at first and then decided not to, in case the information got out and his reputation would be in jeopardy. Autumn was left to believe that he was indeed her father by his actions of sending for her and putting her in school in Florida. When she was arrested for an extortion attempt, she was again ready to take the test, but he refused. During her trial her attorney advised against the test, and then suddenly Cosby was ready. His attorney said he took a blood test, but it was unsupervised and it could have been anyone’s blood sample. In the end, Autumn was over the whole ordeal, she was ordered to never see Cosby again, and at that point she had her own children to worry about. That was where it was left standing.(less)

Jewel Star I wish that my Amazon reviews carried over to Goodreads. The story: TUMBLEWEED is one of my best sellers. It is now in a book of short stories that will be out this coming week. I'll let you know what day!
