Professor
Wilson-Young has been, in her previous lives, an assassin, an Aztec princess,
Eskimo tribal shaman, Roman warrior, Japanese samurai, Amazon goddess, deep sea
fisherman, The Dalai Lama, Egyptian pharaoh, Chinese prophet, and stay-at-home
mom. Currently, there is a lawsuit pending over an undisclosed identity both
she and Shirley MacLain claim. It should be no surprise that in this life she
is most content as an Assistant Professor at Middle Georgia College and Faculty
Advisor for Muses.
