Hello and welcome to my amazon.com author page. You're probably wondering how long I've been writing and what inspires me to write? Well, to be honest with you I would have to say it all started with love letters to the girls in elementary. Sounds funny but it's true. By the time I reached high school I was I captivating young ladies with my letters to them. I was told by one of them that most guys don't write and know how to express themselves. My inspiration to write comes from life itself. I like to take my point of view and spin on things and get to writing. By the time I had become a teen I possessed this crazy idea that I could actually write a book. Amazingly around the age of eighteen I would begin writing the first draft of Love Don't Live Here revised edition. I don't want to bore you anymore with thoughts of myself, so let me introduce you to my books. Take care and happy reading!
