Coming from a family of military members, I learned at an early age what it meant to travel. I spent six years of my childhood in Germany and the remainder in Missouri, USA. I became a young mother at the age of sixteen and learned what determination, motivation, and inspiration could do to one's life. I have experienced just about everything life can throw at a person, from serving in the military, seeing the effects of war, divorces, childbirth, financial struggles, being a single parent and raising a special needs child alone . Life hasn't always granted me the happiness that I desired. However, I never quit treading water. You have to fight for what you want in life. Writing has always been an outlet for me, even at the young age of eight, which is when I started writing poetry and short stories. It has always been a dream to of mine to have my work published, and to have readers connect with my characters. I believe that is every writer's dream—to have their work truly read. http://www.amazon.com/S.E.-Isaac/e/B0... https://monsterinthecookiejar.wordpre...
