A few years ago, I made the dubious decision to pursue my master’s degree in creative writing. I got into a respected program, completed my classes and produced a number of short stories, poems and stage-plays. All that was left was to write a novel, which would serve as my thesis.

Why I'm Not a Fan of Publishing on Amazon but Do So Anyway
Recently, I published my first book on Amazon's KDP platform. It was suggested by one of my viewers, so I decided to give the entire process of self-publishing a try. I wrote A Freelancer's Tale with the sole purpose of using it as a vessel to expand my knowledge of how to publish a book on my own.

Welcome Home
After 15 years, I am going home. Wow, in 1 week I (7 days) will be back home to see my family and friends. The old neighborhood, the old block. I wonder if all the crazies are still around. I still remember Mr. Johnson walking around with that damn red cup all the time. As a kid I never knew what that was about. But as an adult, I got it lol. Plane ticket has been brought and I secured my ride to the airport. The surprise is on. My mom doesn't know I'm coming. It's her birthday weekend, so it's going to be awesome!!
