About the Author:

Paula Mann was born June 12, in southern Arkansas, the sixth child of seven children. She, her older siblings and baby brother all benefited from a loving mother and father. Her hobbies are dancing, singing, writing, participating in church activities, and spending as much time with her family as possible. She has two children, three step children and three beautiful grandchildren who she lovingly describes as “her second heartbeat!” They are Bryanna, Bryan Jr. and Taniyah. Having seen just a little too much growing up, Paula developed her idea of how to make her life better than that of the women of her childhood. She was anxious to grow up to start living her life as a wife and mother. Her mother “Savanah” was the insistent, contributing factor in her getting an education, at the University of Arkansas! Despite her mother’s hopes and dreams, Paula became pregnant by her high school sweetheart, and married during her sophomore year. Juggling a marriage, a baby and classes became quite challenging and threatened her ability to cope. The summer prior to her junior year in college, she became the proud mother of a son, “Bryan”! After college, she began teaching, near her hometown. Thinking that life was finally about ready to begin, there were set backs at her every turn! Soon her marriage was in trouble! Paula hardened as the disappointments and frustrations kept coming in her second marriage. After a second marriage ended in divorce, she developed a strategy that would allow her to give only one year of her life to any one man. The results of that strategy are revealed within the book, “Somebody Should Have Told Me!” She began writing this book, with no name, when she was twenty nine years of age, but the trials and tribulations of life, caused her to abandon her writing. She spent a number of years without a relationship, raising her daughter “Lindsay“, born fifteen years after the birth of her son. Today that manuscript is a book entitled, Somebody Should Have Told Me! The main character, she gave the name Savanah, in honor of her mother. The story based on Paula’s life displays how she dealt with some of the same issues that plague young and older women today. These issues included: family, unwed pregnancy, love, death, baby mamas, domestic violence, marriage, divorce, drugs, adultery, disabilities, job loss, dishonesty, betrayal and you name it. Through it all this strong woman tells her compelling story!!
