Hi Loraine, I will send you two more chapters if you send me your email address. I don't plan to post more chapters of Dark Skinned Sister until March or April. I have finished the story but I have a lot of irons in the fire. I am searching for an agent so I don't want to put too much of my work out too prematurely. My interests are diverst and so I write in several genres. Growing up, my family used to have talent shows whenever we got together. We sang songs, danced, told stories and jokes. One aspect of our contests was to be as dramatic as possible in any type of talent we presented...so we reached far and wide to find ways to make our stories and jokes interesting, and our songs and dance exciting. The funniest thing of all is that some of our stories were real paranormal experiences. Several members of my family have had paranormal experiences. If you like the way I tell stories, you would absolutely love the way my sister, Libby, tells them. Her descriptions are so vivid, you begin to believe that you had conversations with them or they spoke with you. Sometimes, after she tells you a story you forget it was a story and you remember it as your own experience. As far a me teaching...I do not teach traditional classroom education. I have consulted with literary groups and county school systems to provide personal development workshops for teachers. My workshops are creative writing strategies and techniques aimed at helping teachers engage their students more rigorously in writing projects that focus on the students' cultural and individual realities. I plan to do a lot more workshops this year. I hope I answers your questions. Thanks for posting. Amanda
