The thing that motivated me to write in the first place is that I love writing and reading, but more than that, I wanted to share a true story of infidelity that hopefully can go on to help someone else who may be experiencing the same type situation.  My major influences include J.D. Salinger and C.D. Wright...I only hope that I can capture an audience as they do.  But, perhaps my greatest influence and motivator is my son.  Without him, my life would be boring and plain.  He inspires me to be my best each and everyday and keeps me on my toes so that I am always striving to reach new achievements.
