Sometimes in an unexpected moment, a long lost love peaks up to be acknowledged and moved upon. That love was the buried excitement for writing Glorianna experienced in early elementary school. It began shining again in a college writing class when her professor, in an offhand remark, said she had a particular gift for wit and sarcasm. That remark was the door that opened her memory and rekindled that love, with permission to voice her own values and dreams in the persons of her protagonists. Glorianna was and is always creative. She exudes a love for life through her art and now her writing. She draws courage and strength for life’s adventures and adversities through her deep inner spiritual life.
