Maria Hoskins has served as Community Outreach Specialist for the Federal Government for over 14 years and has been employed in the field of community outreach for over 25 years. During her tenure in federal service, she spent ten years as the Senior District Staff for Arkansas’ 2nd Congressional District Congressman, Vic Snyder, until his retirement in January 2011. She is a native of Mayflower, Arkansas and a graduate of Philander Smith College where she received a B.A. in English and Communications. She is married to a loving and supportive husband, Archie, and is blessed to be the mother of two wonderful and special young ladies, Christina and Victoria – named for the princesses they are. She is an active member of the Palarm Chapel Missionary Baptist Church in Mayflower, Arkansas. Thanksgiving at Grandma’s is Maria’s second children’s book. Maria’s goal is to share her childhood memories in the form of stories that will be enjoyed by children and adults alike. Through these stories, Maria hopes to remind children that reading and writing can open a door, allowing experiences and memories to come back to life.
