Now Available LIVING NIGHTMARES of ABUSE Biography Phyllis Benton was born in 1952 in a small fishing harbor in Maine. She lived with her family of eight children until the age of twelve. She then lived with several foster families. Leaving Maine when she was twenty-one she traveled and lived in much of the United States.

In 2004, She graduated with an Office System Technology certificate and completed her book. She enjoyed playing with her two dogs, caring for her fruit trees. Phyllis is currently writing her second book, a fiction fantasy. As a teen I liked writing short stories, drawing and painting. When I was sixteen I was offered a scholarship to go to art school. I was thrilled at the chance to go to college. I gave up that chance because my life was so unsteady. I now write and enjoy some of the things that I missed out on in my early life. It is never to late to pick up the pieces and start again. Click here to visit my other website
