    I am the oldest child of an oldest child. Born in the Washington, D.C. of 1965, I have lived on thirty-one streets in six different states. Whether my characters are fictional or factional, I like to delve deep into their minds and hearts. My hope is that you will also delve into your own heart and mind and find something unexpected and joyful there.Rhonda Denise JohnsonThe Writer who Paints Pictures with words
