TJ Rumsey

I am a former English teacher of 18-years. I am now on disability and will no longer teach. I write poetry and short stories. I have a novel that was published in January of 2013. It is entitled You Don't Have to Like It. I wrote this novel when I was very sick and would like to write a sequel now that I have been healthy for three years.
Education: BA English from Immaculata University (I also hold a minor's cert in Psychology and Philosophy): BS in Secondary Education from East Stroudsburg University OConsentration in English): Master's Degree in Education from East Stroudsburg University.
I have a true passion for writing poetry. I have been writing since I was a teenager and have accumulated thousands of poems. Even, as I get older, have noticed the differences and maturity in my writing.
I have been married for thirty years and have a daughter: Ali and a son: Matthew. They are the light of my life and fought very hard for me to get well.
