  <about><![CDATA[Lacresha Hayes was born in Warren, AR on November 14, 1975. Her mother was an accomplished poet. Lacresha grew up watching her write, coveting the ease with which she put words together.

Lacresha married Pastor Lensey Hayes in Louisiana in April 2007. Her husband, also an author, inspired her to take her writing to another level - to expand on her fiction writing. 

Lacresha has penned more than 20 titles, both fiction and nonfiction. She is also a business owner. She works tirelessly in community and economic development, and as an abuse advocate.
