I have enjoyed writing all my life. After writing a few Blues lyrics and producing several recordings in conjunction with UK composer SIeven Panter, I became interested in serious poetry. Writing lyrics is, to me, writing poetry. I am telling a story. Most poets will agree that much of their work is a reflection of events and experiences, good and bad, that come from personal memories - check out Blues in Emerald City and No more a Lover. Poems are alive and ageless and I hope in this, my first book of poetry, you find something to laugh at and something that reminds you of you. I published four thrillers with a further one being published shortly. In the near future, I will be publishing the biography of a sports and entertainments entrepreneur and a new venture in photographic books but poetry will always remain the one art that I hold close to my heart. It speaks of and about me and is written just for me - but I will share it with you too. I hope you enjoy and I thank you on behalf of all poets who bring much-needed color, serenity, meaning, and beautiful verse around the world.
