I am a Louisiana native of 42 years. I am also a transplant patient and have grown a fondness for photography and cooking. As a young child I have fond memories of watching my Grandmother's cook and sing with happiness while they made us a meal. Photography has also played a big part in recovering from the health problems that I have had. The beauty around us amazes me.This why I do all of this. I enjoy writing children's books, cookbooks and photography.
