Shadows

Recently, I had an experience that could have turned out tragically. In some ways, it was tragic. Thankfully, it was something that can be corrected and moved beyond. After the incident, I spent some time alone thinking about what had taken place. There are times when I am pretty lighthearted and funny. If you follow […]

If you’ve been following my blog, you have probably noticed that my debut fictional novel, “PrinceFall”, has been placed on Smashwords and will soon be on Amazon as well.

Don’t Tread (Too Hard) On My Poetic Doormat
