The Devil Was in My Bed!

My name is Norma Frances Jones, and I was born and raised in the parish of St. Catherine, Jamaica. My early childhood was solely based on a middle-class environment. My parents instilled in me from a tender age the value of education and stressed on the topic; it should be the highest level of my priority. Growing up with both parents along with six siblings, I had a happy, normal childhood. Each Sunday morning, church was compulsory. My mother was an active member in the church. This has impacted my life to develop a religious standard of beliefs with moral values, which molded me into the lady I am to this day. My parents were always actively involved in community outreach programs and the welfare of youths. I pursued my studies in the medical fields, where I studied at Jamaica, England, and also in the United States of America. Now I’m currently working in a law firm, part-time, and dedicating my life to helping needy women (through counseling and prayer). I enjoy cooking, decorating, and travelling. This is my first venture in the sphere of novel writing, as it came about by life experiences, lessons learnt, and through interactions with individuals. I then chose to highlight these predicaments through the medium of this book, with a little discussion with coauthor, veteran Jamaican actor Clive A. Duncan, who has been an integral force in his country’s theatre industry for over thirty five years, having written and performed in numerous successful television, stage, and film productions. His advice was of tremendous assistance to me.
