Brenda Moguez is a native Los Angelino, with a medium size stint in the UK spanning years. She survived one major and two minor bombings by the IRA, discovered real cheese that for her was a big deal as for years she thought it came in a box, wrapped in foil. She went mad for the Marks and Spencer’s knickers and West End theater offerings. Brenda also lost her Latin olive coloring and became pasty British white – she refers to this period of her life as her English Stepford days. Brenda now resides north-east of San Francisco, has two kids, two cats, two cars and several pairs of ‘one size fits all’ pantyhose she bought in a fashionable London Department store that stop half way up her ‘bum’. She figures when she can pull the ‘one size fits all’ hose over her bum she will have body perfection. Secretly she is betting the odds against this red-letter day. Brenda is working on her first novel, and has countless short stories under her belt. She found writing to be a cure all for most if not all of life’s aliments. She writes passionately in her journal to a fictional character serving a life sentence in Changi prison. Dear Diary never worked. Email: Brenda Moguez
