Sheila Morris was born and raised in rural Grimes County, Texas, and is a first-year Baby Boomer. She is a graduate of The University of Texas at Austin and has spent four decades working with numbers as a CPA, college instructor, stockbroker and financial advisor. As she enters the third act of her life, she wants to spend time with words. Her passion as an activist for equal rights for women, African Americans and gays and lesbians has placed her at odds with her Southern Baptist upbringing and brief calling as a minister of music. She has overcome, and moved on. She lives with her partner, Teresa Williams, and their four dogs in Columbia, South Carolina, where she has been for over thirty years.
