My greatest passion is writing, particularly for God. I acquired this passion because for one thing, I was repressed as a child, and needed an outlet for self expression. I actually started expressing myself through poetry. You can find some of my poetry here.

Then, I got hired by the US Postal Service, which I call my “wilderness experience,” or spiritual training ground. It was there that I first began operating under the meaning of my name: Helper/Defender. As a result, I had to learn to write…to express myself well because I was taking on the government, fighting EEO cases, and contacting some heavy hitters, such as the Chairman of the congressional board of Postal oversight. I was in touch with him for 5 years, and he indicated that he appreciated the information I was giving him because it gave him great insight as to what was actually happening, which he took to the board.

I had to learn to write because I didn’t want people to read what I was saying and do a file 13 on it immediately because I sounded too ignorant. Since I didn’t feel “educated” by the time I graduated high school, and had had minimal college at that point, I decided to use a dictionary and thesaurus to verify the correct usage and meanings of the words and language as I would write and I used in these letters and case write-ups. The use of these two tools, which are pretty much indispensable to me, elevated the ignorance I felt I had, because my vocabulary increased dramatically. Suddenly, people were reading what I wrote, and thinking I was wise beyond my years.

After leaving the postal service, my urge to write was fully developed, so I went to school, first for digital publishing, so I would know how to design and layout any book or publication I wanted to write, and then I continued in multimedia, with some marketing on the side. By the time I finished all of that, my interest in studying scripture and writing about what God was revealing to me was fully developed, and Heshewethree was birthed in xangaland soon after.

I still wanted to write books, and I have written 8 children’s stories, yet to be published, because I’m determining artwork for them as well as which publishing process I want to utilize. In addition, I am about half way through the second book, and my first book is available here.
