Joanne S DuffinJoanne S. Duffin has been a writer nearly all her life, from her early days at Riverside Polytechnic High School in California, under the excellent tutelage of Mr. William Bell in Honours English, to the present. However, it wasn't until ten years ag that she accepted a challenge from her husband to try her hand at poetry. Since then, she has written poetry for herself and others. She has been married for 43 years and is the proud mother of four grown children and eight grandchildren. A Renaissance woman, Joanne is also an award-winning photographer, a published author, a songwriter, an entrepreneur, an enthusiastic gardener, and loves interior design. Marcus L. Duffin began writing poetry in 2007, shortly after venturing off on his own to find his path, personally and professionally, while starting graduate school. It was during this period of transition and growth that he felt inspired to put his thoughts and emotions onto paper to describe the changes happening in his life. As of today, he has been with his wife for 9 years and they have an 18-month-old son. He is an owner of three companies and has one pending and two issued patents. For fun, he enjoys inventing, anything outdoors, and going on motorcycle tours. Read More Read Less
