Dear Editors and readers, Please consider my story, “Betrayal on the Edge” for publication. Shakira was born and raised in a small town called Georgetown, on the coast of South Carolina. She now resides in Andrews, South Carolina with her husband and two children. Her passion for writing novels, songs, and poetry started out as a child. Shakira’s life experiences allowed her to fall in love with her passion so deeply that she now attends Full Sail University to perfect it.
