I've become an active author since 2009, which was quite an accomplishment for me.  I’ve applied so much diligence in my writing and with the support of my spouse, family and friends, their encouragement has inspired me to continue to do what I enjoy doing.  I remember when I was 10 years old all of the other kids in my neighborhood would be riding bikes or playing jacks, I would be on a blanket beneath a tree in my yard with my pen and pad creating poems so I've always had a yearning to write.
