An Addition To Award Winning Author Tamera Lawrence's Familly - She is now a Grandmother!

My new granddaughter's name is Shyann. Her mother went into labor the day of the "earthquake" her water broke. Shyann was born 2 weeks early and then they had to stay in the hospital for an extra 2 days because of the hurricane. She was born August 24th and weighed 6' 2 oz. . I can't seem to put her down. :)

Shyann

Author Tamera E Lawrence

As a child, I had a vivid imagination and many imaginary playmates. I read anything I could get my hands on and wanted to write spooky stories.

In high school, I aspired to become a writer. But life for me took a different turn. I married young and had 2 small boys before I could blink an eye and began helping my husband achieve his own goals. So writing took a back seat as I concentrated on running an excavating business. Along the way, we had four more children, making us a family of 8.

Whew! Still, I wrote in my spare time, writing mostly poetry. As my children grew, I began expanding my writing.

So... I took some writing courses, learned how to write, edit and polish. I met a teacher and author, who took me under her wing and showed me how to use POV as well as keep a story flowing. Her influence has greatly helped me. "THE POND" was half written when I began my schooling and the book came out in 2008. In won the 2012 Reader's Favorite Book Award contest for Best Mystery.

Since The Pond, I have written several other books. My books include: GHOSTS OF MAYFLOWER: A PENNHURST HAUNTING, PENNHURST GHOSTS OF MAYFLOWER II .(AMAZON.COM)

Anyway...God bless all writers.
