Thank you in advance,
I was raised by a single mother without many advantages. I did however have an abundance of love, including being adopted by my Dad at 14. I suffered a sports related injury at 11 years of age that left me permanently disabled. Many surgeries later and a lot of compensation for my insecurities, I found myself writing in an effort to survive a sizable depression. Fast forward many years and I wrote my first book, an autobiography (Saved with Honu) that is a culmination of those writings, and related story. My editor says, I had to write it to heal myself. I think he was right.
I've written many poems, and stories. I'm proud to present The Lonely Bench as the first under the buy one give on model. I needed to found a business, because no current publisher would have a model that could support the one for one concept. FeltIt InMyHeart Press was originally inspired by something that my Aunt (sister to my biological father) said. I asked why she never left me? Her response: “Always side with the one that did not get a vote”. It's beautiful, eloquent, and simple isn't it? What could society be, if we all subscribed to this thought? That’s this business in a nut shell, it’s you and I siding with the one that did not get a vote. The most valuable skill that those individuals can obtain is literacy.
I was lucky because of love, and that my mother was a teacher. I was inspired to grow and learn through education. It’s time to pay that forward. If you have ever been inspired by a teacher, you know the feeling. Let’s give that feeling away for free!
Much love to you!
