I found my gift for writting in Jr. High School. My literiture teacher used to give us a subject and told us to write either a short story or a poem about the subject. I excelled in this area and I always landed an A+ on all of my work. But, it wasn't until high school that my new literature teacher took notice in my gift and he dicided to push me harder than all of his other students. His name was Mr. Showers. I learned everything I could from him. He was very honest about the difficulity of becoming a successfull writer in the 70's. He didn't lie about how expensive it was or how brutal editor's could on new writers. Coming from a very poor family it was more economical to get a more realistic job.
Many decades later I got a letter from an old and very dear friend of mine. He made me promise to go do the path of my true destiny. I was destined to be a write and it was about high time that I started. He told me that something else that really hit home in the deepest part of my being. He said that I was entering the second cycle of my life and it was time I lived it my way and not anyone else's. So, I returned to New Orleans and reestablished myself. I have lived in New Orleans on and off since 1975. Then Katrina hit. I left New Orleans before she hit. Now I find myself working my way back to the only place that I have ever called Home. I started writing. I lost my friend on 9-11-01. He and all of my other friends didn't make it. They are the reason for all of my inspiration. I intend to keep the promise I made to all of them. I love writing and that is how I intend to live out the rest of my life. Writing. I hope everyone who reads my books gets more pleasure reading them than I have gotten writting them.
Thank You All:
