Nina Jean Slack has moved around to many different states in her lifetime, but currently resides in the rolling plains of eastern Texas. She attended coursed in Criminology at Blue Ridge Community College and holds honors in English Literature.
Her mother, Cassandra, was the first one to bring the idea of writing into Nina's head. With the random words of her mother, “You should write a children's book, just for fun.” and with pen in hand, Nina wrote her very first book, Little Effie's Book Of Poetry.
"Hello,
My name is Nina Slack. I am an author and I love to read and write. You can find joy in many books,and I believe that there are books out there that can impact your life. You find that one book that you just love and it stays with you all of your life. I hope one day that I will make that kind of an impact on someone's life with my books. I always like feedback on my books that people read(even if it is bad feedback,I am always up for helpful pointers,although if you are just plain rude to me,I could care less of your opinion). I am thankful for all of the support and love I get from readers. It really means a lot to me."
MY INFLUENCES:These three men right here, are my top three inspirations for writing. From the top, Edgar Allan Poe:poet, writer ;Annabel Lee, The Raven… ♥ The second man, Wil Francis aka William Control :artist as in singer/songwriter;lead singer of Aiden, Front man in his side project William Control… ♥ Third man, Ville Valo:artist as in singer/songwriter;lead singer of H.I.M., guest speaker at universities… ♥
Edgar Allan Poe is one of my inspirations for writing because he is one of the greatest poets that ever lived. His poems were dark, deep, seductive in ways and intriguingly scary. His work was unlike anyone else’s at his time. That is what made him known worldwide. His life was a terrible one, everyone he knew and loved, died from the same disease. Hence, why he wrote so dark of tales. His poetry touches hearts and haunts them forever.
Wil Francis is one of my inspirations for writing because he writes dark lyrics that touch me in ways I never knew I could be touched. I can relate to his work in a sense that he writes from his heart. He went through a tragic break up in his life, which made him change and he started writing lyrics of hate, loss, heart break, torture, death and yet he makes these dark lyrics so beautiful. Wil’s biggest inspirations is Edgar Allan Poe, another reason why I like Wil.
Ville Valo is one of my inspirations for writing because he writes lyrics of love. Almost every one of his songs is a love song. He also went through heartbreak in his life, and he puts his emotions into his music so wonderfully. I can only hope to write as beautiful as Ville does his lyrics.
These three men have inspired me in many ways than one…I can only dream to put my work and emotions into my writing as beautifully as they do. They’re work is intimidating though I have to admit. But now you know who my main inspirations are for writing. ♥
