I’ve experienced some the worsts tragedies this world has to offer in my lifetime. Unfortunately, I’ve survived being shot in my head although, after hours of surgery, only fragments could be removed; so the actual bullet remains lodged and cocooned in my brain.
I have been in and out of juvenile, on the skinny black tether box, also the thick gray box, and had long stints in a halfway house and drug treatment. Also back and forth in the county jail, all the while battling with my troubled childhood, which undeniably lead to my not one but two prison terms. Yet my last incarceration was the toughest because, while facing that problem, I got the horrible news of my father being murdered. It was almost unbearable, but while being locked up, you can’t show your emotions at the threat of it being a sign of weakness. So with that tremendous pain bottled up, I let my soul free thru my manuscripts. I released all the hurt thru my pen and allowed my words to breathe life to the pages. I’m just like all of you readers, an individual trying to make the best out of a bad situation and better my life for the future of my family. I thank you, all of you whose eyes were glued to the pages, for your support. You all are truly appreciated. With a lot of books we read, there are many written from the point of view of an author who hasn’t actually experienced the life here recited. But when you’ve really been thru the struggle, the emotions can be translated more wholeheartedly, and it is more heartfelt! I truly hope you enjoy this piece of entertainment I’ve carefully crafted for your reading pleasure!view less
