| We were heading north when I was born in a box car just after the war. My father became the yard bull in Cincinnati. I was raised in a tenement in the yard. My mother died just before I graduated from high school and joined the US Marine Corps in 1965. I spent three tours in Vietnam and when I got out I became a cab driver in San Francisco. I have never married and have no children. In 1987 I suffered a total mental breakdown and have spent the last 25 years in and out of mental asylums. |
| I have only recently started to write - mostly about my experiences either in Vietnam or dealing with the after affects. |
| I use first and third person with flashbacks. I am not a Southern Gothic writer somewhere between O'Connor and McCarthy |
| My passion is art and in the last few years I have started to write. |
