C. K. Flowers began writing short stories at the gentle age of eight years old after receiving an award for Best Story-teller from her 3rd grade teacher. She started writing and “sketching-out” her new book series, The Map, in 2019, when, she says, “The idea came from a conversation my sister and I had one afternoon about how we could truly contribute to our local school system”. With over 15 years as a veteran public school teacher, mother of three, small business owner, and first time published author (The Map book series- 2022), C.K. Flowers has drawn inspiration for the basis of her book series from the phrase “Each one, teach one”.
