Verlinda J. Allen (aka A. J. Heart) started her love for writing in the early 90's thru a Children Lit. Class, while pursuing her BA in Special Education. She was taught to study poetry, to create poems and to finally create a children's book.
Ms. Allen continued writing because she found a niche and a love for it...taking a writing course thru Long Ridge Writer's Group; meeting Kaa Byington (who is now deceased) who was also a romance novelist. Ms. Allen shared her 1st drafts with Ms. Byington on a long time romance project....which will be her 3rd writing project and first book under A. J. Heart
Presently, Ms. Allen has 2 completed poetry books that are with Trafford Publishing (Special Childhood Treasures) and BookBaby (The Highs and Lows of Love; 2nd edition).
