title: It's All Just a Game
author: S. Bartholomew
description: S. Bartholomew first published literary works were poems: I Saw Him Last Night and The Confusion is Driving Me Wild. She has grown the interest of writing at age 7 where she would write 2-3 page stories and create the book cover out of cardboard. Her first completed short story was written during her high school years titled Farewell, Farewell Hitchhiker filled with romance and suspense. It has never been released. She holds a Masters degree in Journalism. Whether or not her first published book, It s All Just a Game, is a success, she plans to continue writing.
