The Beginning

    Well, where does it all begin when you decide to ink your first book? For me it started several years ago when pondering lifes secrets. The fear of rejection held me back for the longest time, before desperation set in. It became my last resort in a sense and then became a compulsion.

   In Memoirs of Dying Man, the race came to the end of my first tale, as I rode around with Kevin Gray. The first nine pages sat for years before my drive in the fog.

  The ride through the fog became a close to home vehicle to portray what a desperate man can discover once pushed to his last miles. Errors come to light only after you release your works to the world. I never expected so many well wisher to my well being. I need to work the word fiction into the title on future prints!  Either way, I took the misstep of the title in stride and started to ask for cash instead of flowers? 

 With this new blog, I hope to share my experiences and take on current events as the days move forward. I will be tweaking this page over time and look to add a place for reviews of my first book. Through this cyber journey, I hope to lend updates to the completion of my current manuscript, as they occur and looking forward to the interaction of you the reader!
