Throughout His Life The Memory

I Sometimes Think It Ironic For An Ex-seaman, Longshoreman, Truck Driver, Policeman, Bus Driver, Etc... To Find Success Writing Children's Novels.

The Advice I Continually Give To Young Writers Is This, "learn To Paint Pictures With Words." Not Just Once Upon A Time, But ... In The Long Secret Dust Of Ages, Beneath A Blue Forgotten Sky, Where Trade Winds Caress The Sun Bleached Shores Of Unknown Realms ... See, As Much As There Are Words In Poetry, There Is A Poetry In Words. Use It, Stay Faithful To The Path You Have Set Your Heart Upon And Follow It.

I Love Book Signings: Kids Waiting In Line For You To Scribble On Their New Books, Haha!

Sometimes, I Get Ideas From Dreams. Often, My Stories Are Based On Adventures That I, Or My Friends, Have Actually Lived.
