James Lagoski Biography

I began writing around 16 years ago after my childhood friend committed suicide. The strange thing was I'd never really written anything before and never even thought about being a writer. After a few years of scribbling on notes I'd put away in a folder, I decided to create a 100 page book of poetry and dedicate it to my friend Bill. But I kept writing the whole time I was putting that 1st book together.
When the time came to publish my 1st manuscript, I couldn't find anyone interested in it because I had not won any magazine contest or such. So I found Lulu self-publishing and then had no clue of what I was doing at all. Although the 1st book was loaded with mistakes, it was completed and printed at the end of 2004. I have re-edited that book about 12 times-LOL.
Today I have 10 books and continue writing every day.
So Remember to Always to Believe in Your Dreams
And in YOURSELF
Peace~
James
