Author bio

My name is Crystal Bass. I am a mother of 6 children. 2 biological children and 4 bonus children. I have two fur babies, Mitzi (1 yr. old shihtzu) and Tobey (11 yr old poodle). I am a middle school Special Education teacher. I work in a self contained classroom, which means that my students stay with me all day. I love to write, especially when given a prompt, however I do not claim to be a professional. Just someone who loves to use her imagination and get it down on paper. I like to live a story when I read it. I want to be able to "see" what is happening. I am open to critique/help. As long as it is kind. Thanks in advance and have a blessed day!
