ABOUT ME



Hello to all my fans, friends, and friendly visitors!

  I'm not one to brag about myself in any way so I'll just cut to the chase. I was born in New York in 1973, grew up in Yonkers and later Spring Valley before moving to Paterson, New Jersey. My upbringing with my military father and stay-at-home mom instilled in me a sense of family that never left, even when our family dispanded due to their divorce.
 
  I love writing about pretty much anything. I began writing as a child since I was shy and didn't have many friends then. As I matured, I was one of those folks who wore their hearts on their sleaves (much wiser now today thankfully), but now I just reveal my heart in a book, or an article and I'm good. (smile)

  Feel Free to hit me up via email at takeshapowell@live.com or follow me on Twitter @TakeshaPowell. I would love to hear your feedback, questions or suggestions. Please have no fear in approaching me with your literary questions also.
