: About Me

I am 42... divorced, reside in Missouri and when I write, I do not want it to have to be interpreted. I want to lead you and take you into a realm where, when your done you feel like I am talking about you or someone you know... that you actually stop and think that your not alone about how you feel...  I am a dad and my son is my true north.  And thanks to Helium... for the first time since I've been writing, people are actually getting to read my work... good or bad... love it or hate it... it is there for the world to see and it is the greatest feeling in the world... I feel like a true writer...
