The Literary Voice of Gen X
I can trace my desire to express myself via the written medium to the earliest days of my life in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. As I was learning the alphabet and how to form letters into words, I sought out that which held meaning — found first in the stack of my brother's Beatles forty-five RPM records.
Throughout the timeline of my own life, many obstacles impeded the ever-present desire to write — mainly financial insecurity. But as I have aged, that specific impediment is no longer a consideration for a man determined to chase his passion before it's too late.
I've entered my grandfatherly years and the impact of witnessing yet another subsequent generation grow and develop has defined the subjects of which I passionately write. There is a great deal of iniquity in the world and it is my hope to capture the struggles humanity faced during the latter part of the twentieth century as well as the early twenty-first.
Whether through fiction or basing stories on actual events, it is with a great deal of determination that I write about the vilest of acts perpetrated against innocence. We must all do our part to instill in future generations the difficulties inherent in leading a successful life.
