Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
My name is Ann Rhodes and I started writing at the age of 8 years old. It was the encouragement of my mother and my 6th grade language arts teacher to really discover my gift of writing poetry. From that point, I began writing for the school newspaper, local newspapers, and was even published by Channel 2 Action News in a Stop the Violence School in Kit in middle schools throughout the state of Georgia. In 2016, my first book was published “From the Beginning until Now”. This is a poetry book that contains poems that reflect on life, spirituality, prayer, and inspiration from various people. I have written 2 books.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
In 2019, I published “A Sight to Behold”. This book is a continuation of my first book “From the Beginning until Now” that includes poems about everlasting life, dealing with relationships, and people who have been a true inspiration. This book was inspired by my mother and many others who enjoyed my first book.
