Fort Myers resident, Michelle A. James is now a published author, having recently released her book, "A Black Sheep in the Fold".*

James, a Jamaican native, has lived in the local area for 5 years and has been employed in the healthcare field. However, her dream of writing became a reality as a result of unusual circumstances.

Having been unemployed for 8 months, her hidden talent was unleashed when she began to journal her thoughts on paper. She realized the catharsis that writing brought her as she came face-to-face with the harsh realities of a shaky economy.

Now, she has the pleasure of sharing her gift of the word with the world, in this new literary accomplishment. A second book, "Writes of Passage" which features her penned poetry, has been completed and is enroute to the publisher.

Would she be molded or folded? Could she stand strong on her feet, or would she fall flat on her face? Only time would tell...
