About the Author
| "I write in the hopes that my birth mother will find me" My foray into the world of words didn't start on paper, but by reading everything I could get my hands on. At the age of five years, as soon as I could say 'may I help you?' I worked in my parents variety shop. By the third grade, I had been promoted to the job of ordering the magazines and newspapers we sold: Ebony, Jet, Sepia, Tan, The Indianapolis Recorder, The Pittsburgh Courier and The Chicago Defender. This was right up my alley because I got to read them before everyone else. I often wondered if our customers knew they were reading "used" material! In junior high school, I apprenticed under the guidance of the late Mrs. Georgia Lucas of Muncie, Indiana and co-wrote an article for The Indianapolis Recorder. She wrote the news portion and I wrote " "Teen Talk". I knew then I was a writer. As an adoptee, I wanted to weigh in on the ever increasing popularity of the subject of adoption therefore, I wrote LOVED TO DEATH: A Different Kind of Love Story and LOVED TO DEATH: The Truth Unfolds. The first few pages of the first LOVED TO DEATH: A Different Kind of Love Story, were developed from an actual dream I experienced. The rest of the book literally had a mind of its' own. It is a symbolic story about how adoption "kills" the adoptee. I am also writing LOVED TO DEATH: The City Awakens Rosa is the mother of two sets of twins and resides with her husband in Olive Branch, MS. Her birth name was Infant Sleigh. "My heart is inditing a good matter: I speak of the things which I have made touching the king; my tongue is the pen of a ready writer." Psalms 45:1 All Pages Copyright © 2006 Rosa Ferguson.
