I was born in Philadelphia, PA, and lived in and around the city until my mid-30s. A bit of wanderlust took over my life at that point, and I've been searching for a real home ever since. I've spent time living in other parts of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Ohio, and Florida. Professionally, I travel all over the USA and Canada on a very frequent basis.
What I write with regard to love, relationships, and living, is most often blended from many experiences I've had or am having. I often blur the lines between past, present, and future, mixing many different people or circumstances together. I really feel what I write, but it's important to note that it's not always based on one particular person or circumstance. We could call it fiction grounded in a strong center of reality.
Sometimes, I really am writing about something or someone absolutely relevant and timely. Guess you'll never know unless you really, really know me!
With God's grace, I'll know what I'm looking for once I find it.

Why I Love The Blues
I love all types and genres of music, but not all types and genres for music therapy! From underneath layers of sadness, peering out at hard rock might make me forget my troubles temporarily, but might also make me more angry than sad. R&B or Indie ballads will send me spiraling and wondering why I haven’t experienced any kind of idealistic love affairs like the ones being sung about.
The Blues - that works for me on a deeply soulful level. Always. It’s an odd thing too, because at surface level, songs about hard times might not seem like a positive thing at all. But, The Blues, in all their gut-wrenching, woe-is-me magnificence, transform my broken heart into a less lonely state. I find solace in knowing that generations of men and women before me have been dumped, overlooked, or rejected. They’ve been broke, drunk, or living lean. They expressed themselves anyway. I connect with that heartbreak and strangely, find myself feeling better after a while.
Thank you, BB, Howlin’ Wolf, Stevie Ray, Albert, Freddie, Eric, John Lee, Fats, Bonnie, and the countless others that set me straight. I’m never really alone if I’ve got The Blues.
