    <about><![CDATA[Sending You Sammy is my first major writing accomplishment but I have been seen in various forms of writing prior to this publication.<br/><br/>Growing up in the country where imagination was not only a way of escape but the only source of quality entertainment, writing quickly became a great passion at a young age.<br/><br/>Now working as a full time banker I envy the writers working full time and hope to be among them someday.  Although jobs are a great source of story telling most of my stories are already in me and just need the time to be told/ written.<br/><br/>Always thrilled to meet other writers, full time or aspiring, I am excited to be a part of Goodreads! ]]></about>
