"I was born to be a writer. Growing up in the horse country of Maryland, my first ambition was to be a race jockey, a profession closed to girls at that time (no longer). But I remember one day when I was 11 or 12, curled in my father's big chair in the study, reading The Iliad. I came to the passage where Homer writes that no greater honor can come to a hero than to die in battle, and have his name ring down the corridors of Time. I remember thinking (tears streaming down my face)"OH NO! That's not what I want. I want to be the one who WRITES about the hero. I want my work to be so good that 3000 years later someone curled in a chair reading the little black squiggles on the page, will be moved to laughter or to tears. Like the Roman poet Tacitus, I want "to move the mind and hearts of mankind."~ Sophy (website: www.sophyburnham.com)(sorry, this doesn't automatically link) BIO Author of 14 books, Sophy Burnham has written novels, award winning plays, journalism, nonfiction books, short stories, and poetry essays and articles.
