Denise Lasalle started writing at the tender age of 11. As an introvert, writing poems and short stories became an outlet for her to express her views, thoughts, and emotions, and writing quickly became her first love and her passion. Born and raised in Virginia, Denise is a loving mother and entrepreneur, and just as she did growing up, Denise loves to sing, dance, and style hair. As a compassionate person, she decided to become a health-care provider, and in 2000 made her dream come true. Expression in My Words is her debut book.
