A collection of prose and 23 poems gathered from the author's 35 years of viewing the events and people passing through his life. Noting the world through the eyes of a small town boy who embarks on a journey beyond his own "comfort zone" into the wonder of firefly filled nights, awe inspiring forests, and emotion stricken reality, James' writing is able to transport the reader to the time and place each selection conjures.
Dr. James Allen Harryman PhD writes as Allen James. His first novella, "Reflections", was published in 1992. Since then he has written five more novellas, a plethora of short stories and poems, 23 of which are in his recent release "From the Heart: prose and poetry from the depths of life", a children's picture book, and a five book series of calendar books.
James has been in education since 1983 and has been a psychotherapist in private practice since 1990. He draws from these experiences to pen writing which is expressive and encourages others to seek a positive journey toward personal success.
