Dilsa Saunders Bailey has been writing as a hobby since she was thirteen years old. Her first short story was The Long and Winding Road, a suspense-filled story involving two teens lost on a road. It was a writing assignment for the eighth grade and she received an A+. She was hooked, but decided not to pursue writing as a career. Yet, she has always been involved in writing newsletters, business plans, etc. for companies she has worked for and clubs/organizations where she belonged.
Her careers have taken her on many paths and back to her first love writing. Dilsa is a Director of Medical Staff Services in a Tenet hospital. She belongs to an award winning Toastmasters Club and various professional organizations. Her favorite past-times these days are blogging and working creatively on many soon-to-be published works. She offers her services as a speaker and a content writer for other websites and blogs.
Dreams Thrown Away is her first published novel. She is currently working on two sequels setting the stage for The Sperling Chronicles.
