At the time I wrote The Star of Mrs. Nicks, I was the mother of three preschool children and doing laundry-as usual! It was getting close to Christmas, and I began to daydream. I could see this old stone house, which I had often driven by. It was overgrown with bushes and vines and I often wondered who may have lived there.Suddenly I felt the urge to write. "The snowflakes fell a fluffy veil..." and it began! It was all I could do to tear myself from my pencil to change loads of laundry!A few hours later the "story poem" was complete. I wrote this poem over twenty years ago. Two years ago, I read it to an elementary class, and they loved it! They wanted copies and even wanted my autograph. I told them I would get copies or have it published. The story has a mysteryabout it that captures your heart and interest until the story is told. You can't put it down until it is done-because you don't want to!I want to thank UCB, the people at Essence, the young people at the elementary schools who loved this story, my family and God for the inspiration that all of them have given me that has brought about the publishing of The Star of Mrs. Nicks. May God's will be done, and may God bless you!
