About Me

**//Author's Notes//: “In putting this book together, my process was to create a collection of verses that would tell a story, making it effortless to enjoy and at the same time inviting you, the reader, into a temporary state of emotional being. Successfully doing so has made this book innovatively unique, in that it is a biography, letter, diary, script, and novel, all disguised as poetry. It represents a state of physical, spiritual, and rational sensation, beginning as a description of romantic innocence, and evolves to demonstrate levels of social consciousness, spirituality, physical expression, disappointment, misunderstanding, passionate reconnection, and finally the “credits roll” in light of an epiphany: “Dear Love,…” I hope that you will use this as inspiration to explore your own hidden passions and have the courage to release them creatively in facing emotionally and spiritually charged experiences.”

My Interests

Thanks for dropping in on my page! The re-release is now here, and as you can imagine it is a very exciting time. This is one of many hats I wear during the day, so I apologize in advance if I don't immediately reply to your messages & emails. But, I do look forward to hearing your feedback, so I encourage you to read the samples, both here and on the official website (www.myrain.info). A little about me though: I'm a Big Lakers fan, love boxing, collect sneakers, neck ties & stock options that just seems to always be declining in value, follow The 'Dow Jones' religiously, "Grey Goose Orange" on the rocks, The Robb Report, Democratic Primaries ("Yes We Can!"), & the book of Psalms.

I'd like to meet:
