I was born and raised in the upper parts of South Carolina. The only child to a single parent. So I became creative early in life. However, this creativity didn't stop in childhood. It grew into my adulthood. Through writing I have discovered I could be whoever, do and go where ever I desire BY THE STROKE OF A PEN. And at The same time escape the darkness that sometime surrounds me. Stay tuned for A totally honest, open and complete bio in my next publication Vol.2 (winter 2011) .

the transparent wind.
So I ran towards them,
