Marcella Glenn is a freelance writer fascinated by words. She marvels at how three, four, words paint a vivid picture. Through her book of poems, Piece Of Life, another avenue is discovered. She writes non-fiction. Look at her blog: http://critiqueandwrite.blogspot.com. She stretches, molds, her characters into a friend, enemy, and/or the wanna-can-be. It's evident in her novel, Grave Street House.
