I am a hard working author of seven books. I have lived on the family farm, in jails, prisons and institutions, in the mountains, on the roads and in the streets. I am a survivor. I love to write because I write about what I know and I know what I write. My life has been exhilarating and the exuberance I've learned from such a hard life has stood me good. I am old enough to have been able to have sat down and write what I've taken a lifetime to learn and accomplish. Everybody is different but we all have something in common. In my case that has sometimes been just keeping alive, one step ahead of danger or death. So I like to share what was in my life, with a little imagination and write something that other's can use in their own lives. Even if it's just a thrill my readers want, what's wrong with that?
