Willy

Willie and the Lapdog The album, Willie and the Lapdog, holds a particular, poignant memory for me, partly because it represented the phase of my life where I was entering puberty, (growing up), and partly because it arrived in my world at a time where I was suffering extreme distress in knowing that my mother … Read more

Golden

Golden Apples of the Sun by Ray Bradbury. This book gave me my writing style and an ability to express myself via the written word.
