Here we go again. 

A new set of foster parents to make my life a living hell. 

What number is this? Oh, that’s right, fourteen. 

This dump will be no different than any of the rest. 

They don’t care about me. No one does. 

I wonder what it’ll take to get me kicked out this time. 

Only six months left until I age out of this godforsaken system… 

Everyone wants to adopt little babies they can mold into replicas of themselves. 

No one wants a seventeen-year-old black kid with a rap sheet. I’m damaged goods. 

An easy paycheck. I know there’s an ulterior motive here. 

There has to be. 

There always is…

Always the cause of shenanigans, Vanessa is a heavily tattooed, sarcastic motorcycle enthusiast who started her career as a Jeep tech at the age of sixteen. The happily married mother of three little monsters—oops, children—lives in Kentucky by way of Las Vegas, Nevada. Once her life took a different direction—sidelined by Heart Disease at 26 and becoming a pacemaker recipient—she decided to write as a creative outlet, and Heartless was born. She realizes life can be dark clouds and acid rain at times, but her outlook on life puts a positive and sarcastic spin on it all.
