About the Author

Hi, my name is Elozia. I'm of French Canadian ancestry, divorced with four grown children. I work, enjoy life, and my hard won independence. My motivation to write came early, at first creating poetry. Eventually, I become serious about my poems, now having many, publishing a few, and I wrote this book. Last of the Tyrants contains some of my poetry.

If I become ovewhelmed by problems, feel personally threatened , or if I feel accomplished, I write. It's joyful and such fun. I love how many words amplify a moment, making them known forever. Yours Truly, Elozia
