 Trenae
Sumter has been writing for over nine years. Her love of historical
romance made her determined to learn all she could about writing,
and the genre. In 1996, she attended her first Romantic Times
Convention. Trenae took advantage of the seminars given by
Susan Johnson, Bobbie Smith and Mary Jo Putney. During the
1998 RT Convention, she learned that Full Moon Press was requesting
submissions for romantic poetry, and a short Regency romance.
Her submission, The
Courtship Of Chantal, won second prize
in the Full Moon Press contest, and was published, along with
two of her poems, in 1999. When Trenae is not writing, she
enjoys working in the reference department at the Ponca City
Library in Oklahoma. Her love of researching on the internet
has been an aid in finding the answers for Library patrons.
She recently penned a book of poetry called Black Roses, and
has plans to self-publish it in 2004.
Trenae keeps busy with volunteer work, and does all she can
to encourage poetry programs for young adults. She is a wife,
and mother of one son who is in college, and one incredibly
spoiled Lhasa Apso. Trenae's friend and fellow author, Leslie
Burbank, has been both encouraging, and an inspiration, reminding
her to never give up on dreams.
