Nancy Pawley

I live in the peachy state of Georgia with my husband, son, daughter, 2 dogs, a cat, and a tank full of fish. I started writing 5 years ago as a means to regain my sanity. I write poetry, song lyrics, short stories and am writing a novel which I've almost completed. My motto is, 'I hope you receive what you want from today, but more importantly what you need.'

What's on my mind...
