Bio: A poet, creator, editor and author of 4 collections of poetry, “The Lost Lullaby,” “Speak,” “In The Shadow Of
A Heartbeat, Letters To Your Ghost,”
and most recently, “If The Night Had Wings,” I’m the founder of The Stray Branch,
a print literary publication with an on-line presence publishing poetry, fiction, art and photography. When not writing,
I live and dream within the shadows and the noise of my own mind; longing for a quiet space away from the chaotic sounds
of life and the world outside my illusions so I can hear their voices more clearly.
