Book Excerpt
My heart and soul lie in every word I write, as I think of memories past of a time, a very special time, which I thought would forever last.
My mind remembers the feelings and memories of what had been, and even today my aging eyes visualize many brilliant sunsets in the countryside of yesteryear.
My hands tremble as I write, of feelings and memories that linger, until the dead of night, when I fall asleep with a peaceful mind.
I am a writer of feelings and memories, and someday, I'll taste the sweet wine of success.
