Poet, Writer, Rebel Described by some as “an alien disguised as a beautiful earthling woman,” “inner peace in human form,” and “a tiny ball of fire,” Gatlianne knew at a young age she was different from her peers. Growing up in the rural south didn’t quash her longing to go against the grain, though she was at peace with the serene country life. She is the author of four books of poetry, with more on the way, and has returned to story writing in the form of novels. Though her path has meandered over the past ten years, ultimately her love of writing always comes back around.
