_**About the Author**_
 Poet and short-story writer Nita B. George retired as an
Associate Professor of English after an active teaching career of 33 years. Re-tiered,
not retired, for there is no retirement of the mind. She is a graduate from St. 
Francis College for Women, Secunderabad, and an alumnus of the Department of English,
Arts College, Osmania University. She started writing late in her life and her first
collection of poems, _**[Reflections](http://www.writersworkshopindia.com/books/poetry/redbird/reflections/)**_,
was published in 2012. This was followed by a book of short stories in 2014, _**
[Encounters](http://www.writersworkshopindia.com/books/fiction/greenbird/stories/encounters/)**_.
Both were brought out by **Writers Workshop**, India.  Outside of writing, she loves
spending time with her pets who keep her physically and emotionally busy.
