When I was in Elementary School, I had written a short story for my classmates and I was in awe as all of the children gathered around and seemed to be enthralled by my tales. However, it was at Edmondson-Westside Sr. High school that my love affair with writing began with an English teacher that recognized my love of literature and encouraged me to stay focused.
As a young teen, I had written a ‘soap opera’, which included all of my classroom and neighborhood friends as lead characters in fantastic and enthralling ongoing sagas. I was amazed at how, as I told the daily tales, those who were interested would follow my characters diligently and eagerly awaited the next segment of the story.
After graduating from Randallstown Sr. High School in Randallstown Maryland, in 1989, my love for books escalated. Even after obtaining a Commercial Drivers License (CDL) from Kirkwood Community College in Cedar Rapids, Iowa and traveling across the United States as a professional tractor trailer driver, I utilized most of my down time listening to audio books of all genres while traveling.
One day, I had decided to write a short story. Although I never published it, I allowed other truck drivers to read my rough drafts and the feedback that I received was riveting. I was told by readers of all kinds, that my writings made it seem as if the reader was not just an onlooker, but an intricate part of the story. They said that the detail to events, actually made them feel as if they were actually one of the characters in the story. I was asked by many with anticipation, to write a novel and I finally decided to do it.
Now living in Baltimore Maryland and commuting to work in Rockville, Maryland daily, I still find the time to write and read novels whenever possible. I love music and art, but I am always blown away by a good novel.показать меньше
