Demetra Reid is also the CEO and founding member of W.O.M.E.N.e.o.. She lives in Atlanta, Georgia with her only child, Kala, and her two little doggies, Pongo and Precious.

Ms. Reid considers writing to be both an outlet and a necessity. She makes reference to the story of the talents in the New Testament: "If the Lord blesses you with a gift, it shouldn't be buried, but rather used for the Glory of Him. Rejecting the written words of another is one thing; burying the words within you for fear of not being accepted, is another. I choose the former with hope that the words will at least be read.

Therein lies the dream of an author."
