Growing up on his family's plantation in Lake Charles, Louisiana, James, the grandson of Bow and Catherine Le Faye, found himself being schooled by the Arabian servant of the Le Faye family. Abu told stories of his beloved Arabia and shared Arabian history and culture with James. The boy vowed to one day go to Arabia and live there. Where else would one find beautiful Arabian horses that took one flying across the sands of Arabia? He dreamed of beautiful women with long, flowing black hair beckoning to him. Where else might he find Uncle Hadji's oasis, where he and his family lived in tents? James dreamed of Arabia, never realizing the cost of being a part of that country. What made Arabia seem so wonderful to James, and would his quest one day be fulfilled?

I was born and raised in the midsection of our country. We spent our lives in a rural area, and my father was a tiller of the land and a guardian of animals, which helped to provide income for our family's needs. I had the privilege of growing up with the love of reading. By the time I had reached sixth grade, it was nothing for me to read a hundred books during the winter. Books were my lifeline, my connection with the world. Books took me to exotic places where I found myself dreaming under a large palm tree. I learned about beautiful ladies and handsome men who lived lives one could only imagine. I remember reading Gone with the Wind and getting caught up in the emotions experienced by Scarlet and Rhett during the time of the Civil War. As an adult, I wondered what it would be like to write my own books. I loved historical dramas, mysteries, tales with a bit of humor, and stories of faith. I have also enjoyed children's stories and have written a number of children's books. Therefore, since retirement I have enjoyed writing all sorts of stories and even poems. I feel somehow the ink of an early-day writer has managed to fall on me.
