Dear Readers,

I hope my GoodReads profile finds you and yours in the best of health and strength. First, let me give thanks to you from the bottom of my heart for your support in making my dream of becoming an author come true. I am truly grateful.

Author-hood for me began in the Mississippi Delta where I was born and raised. It was those experiences and hardships of growing up that shaped my prospective on life and opened my eyes to real social and economic epidemics that I am sure people have heard of but haven’t really felt or lived.

So here I am to bring forth those experiences to you as a reader. My goal is to put readers in uncomfortable and intense situations in hopes of them feeling and tasting the darkness, the sadness, and the pain t

Michael Dummett

A skilled analytic mind and an ardent voice against racism, Sir Michael A. E. Dummett is considered by many to be one of twentieth-century Britain’s most influential philosophers of language. Dummett is best known for his work in the history of analytic philosophy and in his contributions to the philosophy of language and mathematics. Much of his work has taken the form of commentary on the likes of Frege, Wittgenstein, and Quine. Dummett, who considered himself a Wittgensteinian, is widely held as the English authority on the work of German logician Gottlob Frege. Though Dummett diverges from Frege, who is a realist, most of Dummett’s achievements have been pursued in connection with his enthusiasm for Frege’s thought.

Dummett was born in L

Anne D. LeClaire

I grew up on a farm in a small town in Western Massachusetts, the middle of three daughters of a school teacher mother and an electrician father. I was the family "story-teller," not always meant in the good way. In fact, I love that while I was once punished for making up stories, I now get paid for it.

Okay, so I was a small town girl. But my ambitions were as fanciful as they were impractical. My early career choices were fueled by dreams nurtured in our town library where books fired my imagination. At various times I dreamt of being an FBI agent, a girl detective, a pilot, a spy and a cow girl.

I'm a graduate of the MacDuffie School in Springfield, Massachusetts and an alumna of Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts, North Adams, Massach
