I was born and raised as a true Californian. My immediate family is big enough to fill a baseball lineup. Although being a late bloomer, the realization finally came. My calling in life is to create. My passion for writing started in fourth grade when I was top five in a local writing contest. Using writing as a tool helped me tremendously to cope with the troubling times. Then, in high school, my passion for writing turned into love thanks to my high school English teacher. She turned National Writing month into a school project where we spent the month of November doing the one thing I loved, writing. Long story short, I blew the project out of the water. My teacher was highly impressed and suggested I get my story published. Unfortunately, I wasn’t ready for the world to read my writing. She believed in my potential before I knew how to believe in myself. Even though, this is a different book, my dream has come true. I hope you enjoy every inch of my first published book, Becoming Barker!
Love, C.A. Francis
