My Favorite Second Book: Teenage Years

By Brady M. Herren

This is a sequel of My Favorite First Book. It is a collection of poems and stories that are based on real-life events that the author encountered while growing up. Remember that old adage that says, "If a tree falls in the forest and no one is there, does it still make a sound?" It mimics how the contributions of a struggling artist go unheard

Brady M. Herren

A book reader turned a book writer. In order to introduce myself I can start by telling of a typical day which starts with healthy breakfast and on the days, weather allowing it, I make my way to a wonderful trail. I love hiking on with my camera on the alert for the critters that inhabit the bayou the trail runs along beside. In the spring, the otters are raising their little ones. This is where I switch to a small boat powered with an electric motor for quietness. In slipping up on then in their play. This is the secret to my writings of animals in most all of my stories.As you read my book you will get a glimpses of my memoirs and my encounters with a still pristine nature for me to grow up in. I am currently writing a sci-fi novel book which will be out soon and will continuously keep on writing as I want to nurture this gift that God has given to me to share more beautiful stories to people.

Author’s Note

A South American Tribe

A South American tribe spokesman got in touch with a National Geographic interviewer, who stayed with them in their meeting area a couple of days.
