About Me
I have been writing since I was a teenager, but didn't take myself serious until college. My life battles: Depression, drug abuse, suicide attempts, have afforded me a look at life that fortunately few people get a chance to witness for themselves. My soul therefore cries out in my poetry -- writing the experiences of my heart, mind and soul. 2 books are ready for publishing -- one being a poetic biography. I am in the process of researching for a publisher.
