I was born in Guyana and moved to Canada thirty-four years ago with my husband Rolly. I have three children... my late son Andrew, second son Terry and my daughter Cindy, and their spouses. Because of the busy lifestyle I lived while my own children were young, I neglected to pass on some childhood stories, told to me by my mother on a starry moonlight night on the front porch. These stories were told to us on Friday or Saturday nights when my father was working the evening shift. They bring back fond memories of my childhood and the evening snacks of freshly made plantain chips, fresh hot roasted peanuts, ice cold mauby and cream soda mixed with carnation milk with lots of ice. When my granddaughter was born, as I held her and gazed into her beautiful brown eyes, I felt so humble and yet so blessed and privileged to be the grandmother of this beautiful gift. I looked at my own daughter Cindy and I asked, "what kind of a legacy do I have to pass on to this angel God has given me?" My so very wise daughter said "Mom, write your grandchild the stories you have always wanted to write, give her a glimpse into your childhood and she will also have them to pass on in later years." Well I thought about my daughter's suggestion and the more I thought, the more motivated I became. My wonderful husband of thirty eight years got me a laptop and said "here you go, start writing; I am here for you if you need me." I thought of the fact that there might be a lot of grandmothers out there who can relate to my story and so I sat at my laptop and this book was born. I wrote my first book, Fables & Tales of Guyana, for all the grandparents and parents to read to their little ones, and don't neglect to pass on their legacy; it is truly beautiful and rich. I plan to read to my grandchildren every chance I get. Happy Reading!
