For as long as I can remember I have written poetry. I can write a poetic verse in a matter of moments for just about anyone in any occasion. However, when I decided to write a book the challenge was incredible. It wasn't as if I was expecting it to be easy but I became sidetracked by life. The first book I wrote, "Where is the Heart" (not yet published) is the story of a bitter angry person and how his life was changed. It took 8 years to write and you can see over that time how this man became a different person. This book is in a holding pattern pending the publication of the second book, "Where is the Soul? which is part 2 of Where is the Mind?
The inspiration for the creation of "Where is the Mind?" came after I had my TIA, or mini stroke. I felt blessed that it wasn't a major stroke. I watched my grandmother after she had her stroke, struggle to remember who anyone was. I thought to myself what if that happened to me? That thought grew into...... what if I was the only one left on the planet?
I hope you understand I am the average guy. I'm not the classically trained artist and I'm not the rags to riches story of others. I'm am the normal person, with normal problems, who is communicating to you through the written word. The book is a narrative, it's as if I'm speaking to you not at you or about you. It is my intent to keep that "style" as I continue to write. Please feel free to visit me on Facebook, I will friend you. Or follow me on twitter.
Thanks for stopping by :)
