I have a story to tell... Monika Krasnorada grew up in the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains in rural east Tennessee. Forever the perennial black sheep, she never fell into step with the country life. Her teenage obsession with Duran Duran and the dream of being Andy Warhol’s “latest discovery” filled many notebooks with stories of teenage angst. She worked as a labor and delivery nurse for nearly ten years before becoming a stay-at-home mother of two, but those notebooks of her youth were never forgotten. An avid reader, she always felt she had a story to tell, and thanks to the encouragement of some very special friends, she now has the opportunity to tell it.
