New Author Bio
I was asked to write a bio to accompany a poem which will appear in the Chattanooga Writers Guild contest anthology for 2016. I have not written one in a while, and this one is a new bio all together.
I had to customize it for the publication, so this is not exactly wa will appear in the anthology.
