Gale E Manning-... from Barbados is reading Dirty Angels, a novel by Katrina Halle August 31, 2015 - 4:26pm

Hi there! Excited to be here and enjoying the many articles/comments/discussions so far. I've been writing short stories and poetry from forever (at least it seems that way) but only started receiving national awards consistently from 2006. I'm currently working on an anthology of poetry and another of short stories but am wandering around (mostly lost and overwhelmed) in the jungle of editing, book design and self-publishing details. In the meantime I'm looking to take a course (or two or three) so believe this is the right place for me.

But who am I really? I'm the mother of a male mouthy hormonal teenager who means the world to me. I work for a petroleum company by day (in marketing) and write by night. I love my first generation Kindle and will not travel anywhere without it. I believe family is everything and that spending quality time with them today is better than regretting not doing so tomorrow. I've survived some pretty bad D's in life aka divorce, down-sizing and death of loved ones yet I love life and laughter. Best of all, I live on the sunny Caribbean island of Barbados (no, it is not the same as Jamaica but is the homeland of famous singer Rihana) where even when it rains it's still paradise. 

You may not be able to come to Barbados in person but in the meantime you can visit me on my blog at http://galeweithers.wordpress.com :)
