Brenda Stemmler
She has won several contests with her poetry and short stories. Ocean’s Anger is her first finished manuscript. She belonged to the Missouri Writer’s Guild for several years and she was the President for the Jefferson County Writer’s Guild and a member for several years also. She loves to write about her feelings and the true nature of the world around her. When her thoughts surface it is hard to hold back what seems to be a natural gift to her, writing. Sometimes it is hard for her to see the writer in herself, because the words seem to be a gift from God.
Her encouragement to write started with one English instructor at Jefferson College recognizing she had a gift and since then the encouragement of God, friends and family have been her courage to move on to finish her education and to write. She has finished her Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education and she will soon finish her Master’s Degree in Special Education. She uses her gift as a writer in her classroom to teach children about their self and the world around them. She has two sons and two grandchildren and all are a breath of life to her writing.
As I walked out into the water of the Atlantic Ocean, I suddenly realized how much power
was in front of me.
