    About this ebook

    Writing from the Heart is in part, about having survived
    the legion of mind games played by acquaintances in my past. We all have
    a past. What is most important though. Are the friends who hold out
    their hands to pick you back up so that you can continue along on this
    road called life. Without their help this world would indeed be a place of
    darkness. This book is dedicated to the hands that reached out to me.

    Writing from the Heart
    Author

    Gary Willmore

    I was born in England in October of 1952, My mother was from Jersey Channel Islands, and my father ,was a Royal Navy ,born in Dover Kent. As a middle class family living in London with three sisters I decided to make a change. At the age of 19 I left collage and enlisted into the British Army against my father's will. After military services I started in an offshore industry based out of Houston Texas. Somewhere along the way, I have loved and lost but gained my sons. I then started to write, with this being the first attempt - a poetry book.
