I've maintained the quiet hobby of writing for the past twenty years, keeping it mostly hidden until recently. This year I am having my first book published, a labor of love that took me eighteen months to complete. It is called "A Mother's Son," and is lovingly dedicated to my mom. I suspect that some of the things I have to say about growing up are the kinds of things you, too, have experienced. So even though you don't know me or my mom, I would recommend you pick up a copy and see if my story tugs a bit at your heart.
