Connie Mae Mann was born in Memphis, Tennessee. She and now resides in Chicago, Illinois. She is the fourth child of seven sisters. She is seventy-eight years old. Connie earned an associate's degree in applied science from Malcolm X College and worked in a medical laboratory for five years. She also earn a bachelor's degree in English from Roosevelt University and a master's degree in education/administration from Governors State University. She is now a retired Chicago public school teacher where she taught for twenty-seven years. I have written a book of poems and many short stories. The story of Alan the Butterfly is one story that connected with everyone. It came about one day while I was sitting at my desk in my classroom. I saw a butterfly resting on the windowsill. After it stayed there for a while, I started pondering as to where could it be going. I gave it a place to go, a reason why, and a journey to experience. I named him Alan. I hope you enjoy reading about Alan as much as I enjoyed writing his story. I also hope to publish his sequel. Thanks.
