About the Author

My name is Gwendolyn Causey. I am married to a wonderful man, Mike. Together we have five children. Briana, Andrew, Brad, Johnny, and Jake. We live in the heart of East Texas. I came from a big family. I have four sisters Jan, Nan, Wanda and Sharon. I also have four brothers, Lee, Rusty, John and Norman Jr. Like most of my brothers and sisters, I was born in Dallas, TX. My family moved to East Texas when I was a year old.

I have enjoyed writing poems and fiction novels since I was thirteen years old. I got into reading them originally. My sister in law Betty gave me a book one day and told me to read it. I was immediately hooked. The more I read the more different twists and turns I thought I would have put into that novel. So I decided to write one myself. And I have been writing stories and poems ever since.

I hope you enjoy reading "Coming Home" as much as I've enjoyed writing it.
