When the truck stopped, I lifted the curved rusted latch and pulled myself in. Turning to close the empty bed in darkness, I knew the ice cream was gone, and my cold heart would be the last scoop eaten by the beast.

Risking cliches, I will tell you that good things take time, you are a diamond in the rough. Keep investing your time and talent into your dream. Continue your grassroots campaign, volunteer at book events, attend author signings, and follow authors you admire. Immersing yourself into the culture you want to be part of will create connections, and give you confidence. I believe in you!

Write without thinking. Don't worry or wonder if it is "good." Just write.

I am currently working on my second book of poetry, "Code Words." It is a memoir of poetry, describing and dissecting what life is like with mental illness. My hope is that this volume will reach other people who have mental illnesses, and their friends and families who lovingly desire to empathize.

"Justice for the Lemon Trees" came to me as I served time in prison. With an abundance of opportunity to lay on my bunk and reflect on aspects of my life that had led to one terrible moment, I was able to begin an outline. With two inch pencils and scraps of paper torn out of books, I was able to write the roots of what became my tree of life. When I had no future besides kitchen duty, writing this memoir gave me purpose.
