12 | Courtney Ware | cmware1331@gmail.com | 7605252599 | I have a huge sports background- I was a Division 1 student athlete in college. My sport was softball. My brother and father also played D1 football and my father played in the NFL, so athletes and the world of sports is something I understand. I was a Christian missionary for 6 years and am very familiar with church culture, religious ideology and deconstruction, especially in the area of sexuality and Purity culture. The mission field also allowed me to see how most of the world lives, experience different cultures, and the struggles of impoverished peoples to provide for themselves and their families. I am an artist, freelance painter and scenic artist, so the creative process is familiar to me. I come from a mixed background with my father being African American and my mother Mexican American. This gives me a unique perspective on the current racial tensions, the American dream etc. I am a huge fan of YA, fantasy, mysteries and historical drama, but will read for any genre except erotica or anything that borders that genre. | On Request | On Request | Any, especially YA, Fantasy, Mystery, Historical Drama.
