"Black Gold Down Under"

Born and raised in Houston Texas, After graduating from Gulf Shores Academy High School I soon attended Catonsville Community College in Baltimore Maryland in 2003. I spent a year living in Las Vegas Nevada in 2005 and that is where I found my edge in Life, In 2010 I wrote my very first poetry book titled "Smiling Through The Pain". And this is where my writing phase began, Today I have published four books and currently working on a 5th book titled "The Search for Lydia", A mystery novel about a missing 10 year old girl from Santa Fe New Mexico. Authors who inspire me are James Allen, James Baldwin, Langston Hughes, Ralph Ellison, J.K. Rowling, Agatha Christie, Michael Connelly, Stephen King and James Patterson.
