I was born in Jonesboro, Louisiana in 1956. I’ve been writing for years; since my mid-twenties. Many things I’ve written (mostly fiction); much of it was destroyed in 2003. I never really sought to have anything published, though a few things appeared in prison newsletters. For a short time, I worked at a newspaper firm in Long Beach, California, as a biographical writer. Trouble at home caused me to abandon the job. Well, the owner gave me time away to handle things. I never returned.
