About the Author

I was born and raised in Orange, Texas by parents of Sicilian decent. I just celebrated my fiftieth wedding anniversary with my two children, their spouses and soon to be seventh grandchild. I am a Registered Nurse with a bachelor of science degree and have dedicated most of my life working with the sick and injured. I love the career that I chose, and am proud to be a Registered Nurse. But, to be a nurse is to live in the real and serious world. For some time I have felt the need to escape into a world less demanding and full of fantasy. Choosing to write has given me the avenue that I have been looking for. In writing, I can invent characters that aren’t real and create situations that arouse the imagination. It’s my chance to live as a child and young mother once again. Anna Ragusa Clark
