I have been a writer for as long as I can remember.  It is what I am, not what I do.  My mind functions on a different wave lenght than most other people's.  Like my fellow writers, when i see something, or hear something, or anything something, it is filtered through my brain as potential material for a book, or story, or poem.  Non-writers, even my closest friends and family don't understand how my mind works, and frankly, sometimes I don't either.  That being said, I will add only two other pieces of information to my biography, writing is like breathing for me, and I've told my children, the day I can't tell a good story is the day they should shoot me and put me out of my misery.

As a writer, my goal is to tell a story, as a poet, my goal is to make the reader feel, as a human being, my goal is to make the world a better place for my having been here. I know I have achieved the first two, the third is still in the works. Contact Information bduffy148@yahoo.com
