Ms. Hawks has always been interested in writing in some form or other. A few years back, she was involved with and then ran a Star Trek Interactive Writing Group which was successful for a number of years. Yes, she is a trekker and proud of it. She has directed tours around the country and continues to do so to pay the bills. Maybe one day, she can travel for fun and let the books she writes pay the bills instead. She can only hope. A few years back, she received her Master's Degree in Ancient Civilizations, Native American History and United States History. It was at this time she got involved in role playing on Facebook, which gave her ample opportunities to grow and hone her writing ability.
