Publisher info
Life began in a low-middle-class neighborhood of Atlanta, GA, across the street from the Hartfield-Jackson, Atlanta International Airport before it picked up all of the extra names and became the busiest airport in the United States.
My parents provided me and my siblings with food, shelter and clothing. I wanted more and made poor choices to get it: those choices took me behind walls, bars and fences for decades.
Today I'm a writer with a unique voice, who writes to entertain my many readers, and to show that change is possible no matter how far down the scale we have gone. I'm a writer of many genres, including technical, legal, fiction and non-fiction, but regardless of what I write, I write in hope that my readers find meaningful content. Thanks for reading my writings.
