Ever
since the age of nine, my main dream has been to someday succeed as a published
author. Easier said than done, right? It is an ongoing struggle
which requires a great deal of discipline and effort, as well as practice
to improve in the art of writing. This is something I am still attempting
to achieve. However, along the way, I have enjoyed a number of modest
publications, as well as encountered fellow writers and friends who help
me along in my craft. Writing is a lonely profession at times and
it is comforting to know others who understand. Below, you will find
a sampling of my poetry and short stories. Currently, I am adding
new short stories to my collection, as well as writing a novel entitled
The Year of the Robin. Any critiques or criticisms, please feel
free to pass them along. After all, criticism is part of the craft!
