Author: Bea Simmons

Bea Simmons co-authored Like Him With Friends Possess'd, with Toni Cantrell, writing as Allen Simmons-Cantrell. As a shy child, she found her voice in the craft of writing. She enjoys writing short stories, novels, and upon occasion, poetry. She is always alert to glean tidbits from her environment that she can mold into a story. As she likes to say, "There's a story there."
