: About Me

Hello everyone! Everyone calls me Mike. I started out working as a tractor-trailer mechanic and was in that field for over 27 years. Have mastered certification in HVAC transport. Having gone through numerous setbacks, that kept me from going forward.

Recently found a flair for writing which was noted in August 2008 when I published my first novel. "Angel of the Abyss" under the pen name Michael O'Graves. Also I have submitted several poems on Poetry.com. As I have explored my gift, it has become well rounded and noticeable to other for religious writing as well.

As I am an intellectual that loves to learn I am currently enrolled online at Ashford University. I am recently finding that the flair of writing is becoming more clear as I am in my third class of my Freshman year as an A/B student.

As faith would have it writing seems to be a very strong point in my life. Of reflection that one can make a difference, by bringing out the finer points of observation into plain view. This seems to be a real passion for myself and as I reflect upon others works gives me the vast knowledge of differing views without prejudice. I am truly looking forward to submitting and rating articles here.

Well now what do we have here?” I don’t think I ever seen you around here. “Hello Tommy,” with a voice ever so sweet. “My name Susan. For I am Queen of all the she cats that are around here.” “Oh really?” With a raspy voice of interest. “Oh nothing I am just looking around is all.” When she noticed his pure black silk fur.
