I write poetry, fiction and songs. I love sonnets and have attempted to write many. I "invented" a new form of sonnet which I call the "Story" Sonnet. LIFE CYCLE was the first of this type and can be found here on Authors Den.
I am a Vietnam Vet. I was a Navy Corpsman and served in Danang from June, 1967 to June, 1968.
I was born in Clarksdale, Mississippi and grew up in Las Vegas, Nevada. I was an independent trucker for years but I've been a real estate broker for the past 15 years.
I am married to an incredible lady and I have two wonderful children, both in college (Ouch!) My son starts Law School in the Spring and my daughter has just completed her first year.
Birth Place: Clarksdale, MS January 16, 1947
Accomplishments: I was listed in "Who's Who Among US Writers, Editors and Poets (1989 Edition)
Other achievements and awards are military and professional.
