....."Upon first glance this collection of vignettes and verse may appear fragmented and disjointed but a thread of me runs through each piece. My writing is somewhat like pictures I post on FaceBook, viewers love sunrise, sunset, river and trees. An abandoned homeless camp, graffiti on the footbridge or a dead deer are not popular yet these things too are part of our world. Readers like my nostalgic stories: remembering astronaut John Glenn's first orbit, going to the auction with my dad, and camping under a star filled sky in the ghost town of Winston, New Mexico. In these pages you will also find terse writings: bumping into systems with rigid walls, hard rules, and stories of marginalized people."
