I am an only son, grew up in a family of five sisters, migrated away from that as quickly as I could. I have been a voracious reader since I learned to read, been writing stories since high school and poetry for maybe a year. I dont pretend to be very good at any of it, but it is the way I vent steam from an over worked mind. This is the first forum I have used to find people to read what I write.
