Born in a small town in Rhode Island, I was always interested in written words. However, I did not gain notice until I had entered college in Boston and was the first freshmen to be invited into a study program where I studied and wrote under the mentoring of a published poet.

After college, I was called back to Rhode Island because of a family emergency and my direction was forced to change. As a writer, I never lost my passion for the written word or my desire to live near the sea. Years later, I decided to pursue the written language, once again, pitch my prose atop a synthesis of confessional folk stories with a twist through independent publishing.

What’s a good read of the seeds of fascism. A read I thought I would never have to apply to the United States, but here we are today.

Quotes by Joseph L. Persia  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“She didn’t drink a lot, but she drank me into wonderland where we spent the time giggling and laughing. However, know this if you are able or leave while you still can. Love is unstable when built on what must come and go with the wind and sand.

After a while, I heard the increasing activity from the hall as the campus was starting to come alive and I said to Penny, “I think we need to get to the bistro” and she responded by slipping one brown shoe delicately over her white nylon stocking.”
Joseph Persia

“Perhaps man has a hundred senses, and when he dies only the five senses that we know perish with him, and the other ninety-five remain alive.”
Anton Chekhov, The Cherry Orchard

“She didn’t drink a lot, but she drank me into wonderland where we spent the time giggling and laughing. However, know this if you are able or leave while you still can. Love is unstable when built on what must come and go with the wind and sand.

After a while, I heard the increasing activity from the hall as the campus was starting to come alive and I said to Penny, “I think we need to get to the bistro” and she responded by slipping one brown shoe delicately over her white nylon stocking.”
Joseph Persia

“The butler went away among the abominable plants. The General spoke again, slowly, using his strength as carefully as an out-of-work show-girl uses her last good pair of stockings.”
Raymond Chandler

“Yet cease your ire, you angry stars of heaven! Wind, rain, and thunder, remember earthly man Is but a substance that must yield to you.”
William Shakespeare

Overall, I bet I read over a thousand. I have no ides of the amount of books I read as well.

I think reading a book is a lot like eating your favorite food without the calories, sooo, why count them. :%)


Jolene Thanks for the friend request and I have no idea if the amount of books I've read is high or low? I always thought it was low compared to others :)


Heather Thanks for the add! I realize that NO ONE can see my books haha! I like to make it a guessing game...keep people on their toes ;)

Aloha Hi Joseph. Thank you for the friend invite. I wouldn't say Vollmann lost the present since violence is timeless, pervasive and so very current.


Paulina Hi. Thank you for the invite- the joke made me chuckle :P
