This actually could have been my name; my mom has always told me that she loved the name "Sayard" although she doesn't remember where she first heard it ("Maybe a book, or I heard it on TV" she says) and ever since high school, when I wanted to be an English teach who wrote amazing novels on the weekends and summer vacations, my nom de plume has been Sayard Morgan.
Sayard, my almost name and Morgan, my middle name and one that represents several generations of family.
Reverb10 has done a lot to make me feel, once again, more like a writer, and so I am choosing to take on my alter ego author name for this day.
