About Me

Born at the height of the Great Depression, August 1932, Priscilla was the 3rd of 3 children. Growing up with only one sibling-Forest. Her older sister, Victoria, was taken by a great aunt to live in Florida. Priscilla lived through a very traumatic, restrictive childhood by a domineering, bipolar father. Her mother was a silent advocate in an attempt to keep calmer waters in which the family swam. Priscilla was born with extraordinary talents never allowed to surface until years later. Her only freedoms were realized within the school room. She excelled in every subject until Highschool where she encountered a teacher exemplifying her father's traits. She almost failed history-one of her favorite subjects. Fleeing home at 18, she met handsome Clemson ROTC Cadet in his Junior year. They married and immediately after graduation 'they' entered the military. For 25 years the family of six embraced their educations throughout the world. Priscilla took every advantage to study all possible cultures, arts, languages, lifestyles, peoples. Rejecting some, embracing others, she honed her desires to 'enlarge her coasts' as it were. After retirement, she decided there was now time enough to write. She began with a little short story and went on from there with six full length books. All are fiction, but bring snippets of her life as well as those of family and friends to be ingested by the readers of her fictions. At 89, she's now beginning her initial memoir.
