Frances L. Phillips

I am a poet mainly, although if a topic interests me, I may occasionally write in the non fiction or even seldomly the Fiction genres. I am working on a novel that is going it's own direction.

I have one poem published in 2010. You can find the poem in my Poems... "What gives you the right?"

I live in Houston Texas where I work as a Part time waitress and pretzel maker. I am an award winning hairstylist and cosmetologist. I love to enter fantasy hair competitions where I get inspiration for things I'd like to write about and occasionally get paid the big bucks for my styles.

I was born here in Houston, though I have not lived here all my life. I moved around a lot as a child and have lived all over the United States. This has been very fulfilling for me as I have learned a lot and it assists me in my writing more than I would have imagined as a child.

I wrote my First Poem when I was 11 years old. My mother recognized a talent in me and has always supported me in my pursuit of this dream.

Though I have no formal training I enter poetry contests all the time and am a member of a writers club here in Houston.

Writing and hair are my two passions I would to make a living doing both but if hair is the only thing that makes me money atleast I will still have writing to get things off my chest. Even if it never takes me anywhere I don't think I will ever stop writing.

I love to read as much as I love to write and almost always if I get a review of any sort I will return the reveiw so fear not about wasting your words.... it will never happen with me =)
