I was born and raised in the small town of Klamath Falls. It is there that I met my husband and had my first two children. In 1999 we left Klamath Falls, headed towards Portland. I have since had one more child and have settled in Newberg. I worked as a waitress in a French Bistro for nearly five years before quitting to help care for my ill grandmother. It was during my care of her that I decided to go to school for Medical Assisting. I had planned on continuing onto nursing, but landed a job with a Dr. I highly admire in a practice that I love, that has trained me beyond my schooling. In the nearly five years that I have been employed there, I have spent a large amount of time commuting. During those times I would spin many stories in my mind with the intention of writing them down. I have always loved to write, but have ventured away from it due to lack of time and life. The story of Neveah and Lilly stuck with me and I decided to write it down. I never intended for it to go this far, or become a full fledged story that I would be so proud of. I look forward to seeing where this journey leads me!
A great expose of different genres from the world of the written word. If you love a book with variety,this is a great choice. Writers from many different backgrounds converge under the direction of Angie Merriam to offer readers a glimpse into many different worlds. Angie herself offers us a spin-off story from her very popular "Neveah" series. Intertwine is a real treat!
Angie has taken her time to gather together and format a wonderful group of short stories and poetry written by unknown writers, me being one of them. The stories and poems range from light-hearted to profound.
Angie tells me that I am the reason she decided to compile this work of art. She was nice enough to place my two poems at the very beginning of Intertwine. I don't know if I really deserve that honor but I would like to express my gratitude here.
