Beem Weeks here. I’m an indie author, blogger, blog talk radio host, and video/audio producer for Fresh Ink Group. I have written many short stories, essays, poems, and the historical fiction/coming-of-age novel Jazz Baby. I have also released two short story collections and a novella. I live to create with the written word.
Background
Information
I was born and raised in Lansing, Michigan. In the late 1980s I relocated to Ft. Myers, Florida, where I stayed for two years. My first novel, the historical fiction/coming-of-age story entitled Jazz Baby, saw publication in April 2012. My second release is a collection of short stories called Slivers Of Life. I have also released Strange HWY: Short Stories, and the novella The Thing About Kevin. All are available through Amazon.com, Barnes and Noble.com, as well as other online sites. As a writer, I am influenced by the really strong storytellers, like Stephen Geez, Barbara Kingsolver, Daniel Woodrell, Alice Sebold, and A. M. Homes.
