I have been writing poetry since I was about 8. My Mother's birthday was coming up and I asked my Dad what I should get her. He said..."Why don't you write her a poem."
I did write that poem and my Mother, Frances, cried when she read it. That's when I first discovered the power of words to move someone's emotions.
In 1982 I self published my first book, but now I have published 70 books on Kindle direct Publishing.
