: About Me

I am 46 years old and have been writing mostly poetry since I was a teenager. I have won many awards and some of my poetry has been published. Most recently, I was chosen out of hundreds of applicants to write poetry for a screenplay which is now making its rounds in Hollywood with my name on the cover. I have always had a passion to write.
