Maggi Myers
Magnolia, that's me! My given name is actually Maggi. When I was a baby my wonderful and wise Gran baptized me "Magnolia Blossom" in her kitchen sink. She didn't take too kindly to the fact that my heathen parents skipped over my christening, endangering my mortal soul. So moving forward from the day of my re-birth, Magnolia became my nickname. Ta-da!
I was born in West Des Moines, Iowa and raised in Miami, Florida. I now reside in Greensboro, North Carolina but have lived in Colorado, Wyoming and Texas. My family is in Iowa and I love to visit there. Yes, I said I love to visit Iowa. Why are you staring? I strive to be a wallflower and lead the most vanilla life possible. So far, that hasn't worked out well for me. I have quite a bit of ornery in me and as hard as I try not to cause trouble, I do. I appear rather unassuming and non-threatening which works to my advantage when the s**t hits the fan. "It was her? No way, she looks so sweet!" I have a innocent face and a devious side; troublesome combination. This past year, I decided to put some of that ornery to good use; I started writing a book. I began writing as a child and much to my parents chagrin, wrote about the dark and heavy bits of life. I got away from writing when I became the parent of 2 special needs children, thinking that I didn't have time anymore and my "hobby" had run it's course. Beginning again, I can't believe I ever gave it up. Here within these pages is the journey to being published. Pull up a chair and stay for a while. |
