ADRIENNE S SANTANA

Residing in Centre, Alabama Adrienne Santana is happily married to Tony Santana.\xa0 Together they share three adult children and two grandchildren.\xa0 She is a two\xa0time internationally published bestselling author on Amazon with her third launching this month on the 14th of December. \xa0She published her first essay titled "Legacy of the Lotus\u201d in June of 2014.\xa0 It was the writing of this essay that inspired her to start "Legacy of the Lotus" as a tool to help others voice their own stories through the world of anthologies. \xa0\xa0

When asked what motivates her Adrienne recalls \u201cAs far back as I can remember I always wanted to be a ''story-teller'' and at the age of six I wrote my first story on blank white paper folding the pages in half and binding them in ribbon to make a book. \xa0It was a craft to me even then. \xa0During class one day, my teacher Ms. Brown caught me making one of these little books and retrieved it from me. \xa0I thought I was in big trouble.\xa0 To my surprise, she asked me to stand at the front of the class and said "Class, Adrienne has something I would like for her to read to everyone." Then she nodded to me to go ahead. \xa0\xa0

Publishing my essay \u201cLegacy of the Lotus\u201d in Erica Gordon\u2019s \u201cMotherhood, Dreams & Success:\xa0 You Can Have It All\u201d, renewed a passion I\u2019d long let go of.\xa0 A passion to encourage and inspire others to be heard and to share the gift of their life\u2019s legacy.\xa0 With that sharing comes a higher level of freedom and self-worth like the one I\u2019d never known and I\u2019ve realized there are no boundaries to our dreams. ...\xa0It's with great pleasure that I present to you my guest Adrienne S. Santana..
