About Me

 

I am 53 years old

And I live alone in South Georgia.

I drive a truck as a profession and write to

Express my feelings of loneliness.

 

I was born in Miami, Florida;

Lived there until I was 15 years of age;

Then moved to Columbus, Mississippi.

 

My school time is not much to talk about.

I failed the first grade and a couple more;

Somehow I made it to the 10th grade.

This was not bad for a kid with dyslexia

Living in Mississippi during the 60’s.

 

I quit school to go to work as a paperboy.

This I did from the age of 17 until 27.

I took up photography at the age of 20

Making photographs as well as working the paper route.

I made an average living.

I did become a very good photographer.

And for more than seven years,

I worked as a photographer.

 

I started a family in 1976

With my first child being born in 1978

And that’s when I started driving a truck.

My son was born in 1987 and

Sometime in 2001 it all came apart.

 

On December 25, 2002,

I woke up alone in a Wal-Mart parking lot

 And started to write.

At first it was about my dreams,

Then it turned to love, lost and found.

Now heading in a new direction,

I am writing about

The people who touched my life and heart

Beginning with my life in Miami until today.

The first book will cover the time from

My birth until I moved to Mississippi.

As time passes I will be adding

More about the people in my life

And how one word from a person

Can change my life.

 

I hope you enjoy the journey

Through my life with me.
