My goal in life is to teach people about the joys of Literature! As a child I loved to read. I hated sports because lets face it I sucked at them. Now I did play baseball but still I sucked at baseball!
I lived fantasies in my mind at a young age, I was even diagnosed as living in a fantasy world. I didn’t like reality very much. I even suffered abuse as a child so you can understand why I would prefer to live in a fantasy world instead of putting up with the hardships of life.
I never knew that one day I would become a writer. I never learned how to write in school. I dealt with mental illness as a child and had a learning disability. So I struggled in School. And lets face it, Special Education didn’t teach me what I needed to learn. Putting up with bullies was something I didn’t want to put up with! So I dropped out of school when I was 15.
I would spend the next six years reading and falling in love with Literature before I sat down and started writing. But it would be another sixteen years before I published my first book. I didn’t have the Internet so I didn’t know about Amazon and such platforms as Wattpad.
Getting my first Kindle Fire in January of 2016 was the best thing that could happen to me. I learned there was so much Literature out there my mind was blown. But it would be months before I found a Publisher. It would cost me $3,200 to publish Night Stalkers. And it would be another four years before I created my Facebook account. A month later in August of 2020 I found a publisher thanks to my Facebook friend Author F. East where I didn’t have to pay for publication of my Works. For her I am entirely thankful.
One thing I would like to do in life is use the money I earn from my Works is build Libraries and Book Museums in my area and around the world and help future generations lean to read and write as well as preserved Works of Literature.
There is so much our children are missing that they don’t even know it. I would like to change that and spread the gift of reading and writing so that generations from now people would read their Works.
I would also like to spread a sense of peace around the world with the gift of Reading and Writing. There is far too much Hatred and Violence in the world. I hope to change this mindset!
