A little bit about where I came from…..

I have to take a step back in time when everything centered on Daddy’s ministry.  My brother and I found ourselves in the middle of places we didn’t choose...like church three times a week, at least.  When I was but a wee child, Daddy would have me singing in front of strangers, and believe me, some of them were strange. I continued to minister in song: on radio, at churches, and for funerals until the last few years.

We traveled a bit in those early days because Daddy was an evangelist.  We saw new faces about every two years or so.  I learned early on that walking in new places and seeing new faces was not always an easy thing to do.  I also learned that you could get where you wanted to be with determination and guidance.

Daddy was very big on education and becoming a part of society that made the difference in something or someone, values that are instilled in me today. All that I strive to do, I owe to his persistence and that of my loving mother.

In high school, grade 11, I became very ill and had to drop out.  It was years later before I was able to further my education.  I’ve had a few hurdles to jump and valleys to cross, but since that time, I have completed medical prep school, ICD coding, nursing school, Institute of Children ’s Literature, and authored three books.  My fourth book is currently in the works.  I also write poetry and scripts for church plays.  My poetry site may be found at www.poetrypoem.com/poetic2050. I entertain a mixture of blogging and various emotions at PURPLE LATCHES.  In addition to www.gulfcoastauthor.com, my books also may be purchased at  www.Sandrahoynacki.com and http://www.coalition-independent-authors.com/book-marketing.html under fiction.

Over the past few years, I’ve been closely involved in various facilities dealing with mental heath …this is my forte.  I retired from nursing to attend to my mother who was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s a few years ago and lost my father to cancer two years ago this coming July 14.
