The Empty Room

It's all here. The complete collection of C. R. Crane II. The semi-autobiography of poetry and song. Short stories in rhyme. Highly entertaining and provocative, dark and mysterious. Follow the footsteps of a teenager right on through adulthood. From first true love to that first heartbreak. Twisted tales from the mind of a man who refused to give up on one woman. Mix in a little fantasy and imagination with the truth and you might be surprised to find yourself somewhere within this book. We all live and we all die. It's only a matter of how or why. When life really is stranger than fiction, it opens your eyes.

C. R. Crane II. Born 10-19-58, Holden, West Virginia. The proud father of two sons, Andrew and Sean. What started out as silly little poems and anecdotes to amuse my family and friends while in junior high school turned to be a passion with a mind of its own. With the discovery of that first love and heartbreak, sex, drugs, and rock and roll, I had to write down in my own way everything that I felt or experienced along the way. This book is my own self-imposed therapy. It has kept me from going INSANE.
