  <about><![CDATA[My name is Besa Kosova and I am Albanian born, American writer. I discovered my passion for poetry and writing in elementary school. The first poem I wrote – at age six – was about peace. At age eight, I decided to become a writer. Since then, I have not stopped writing. Besides writing, I enjoy more writing and a lot of reading. My first poetry collection entitled Raindrops was published in September 2007. I am a single mother of two and a full time student, majoring in Creative Writing at the University of Central Florida. I am currently working on a series of four books as well as attempting to write my first romance novel.]]></about>    <gender>female</gender>  <hometown>Pejë</hometown>  <born_at>05/12/1977</born_at>
