I was born and raised in Ocala, Fl. The second of five children born to Wanda Howard. I’m happily married to Torrence Jackson and I have three amazing children Demarcus, Amir and Zaria. As a young girl, I always wrote poetry and short stories with hopes of one day publishing my work. Like Candy is the first novel in a two-part series, but only the first of many stories I plan to share with those who are interested in reading my work. Everything I write is based off my own personal experiences and interesting people I have encountered in my lifetime. I hope you enjoy this story as well as my further projects.
