About the Author

Born and raised in southern P.G. County Maryland, I have been writing poems here and there for the last 10 years or so. Thinking of some of the reactions I have gotten from friends and family, I hope that my poems will reach others and inspire them in some small way. I never had the intention of putting together a book, nor had the thought that others would enjoy reading what I wrote. I have always enjoyed writing and so I decided that I would give being a real author a try. I don't know what will come of it, but I figure it doesn't hurt to try.
