I would like to share a story of something that happened at a book signing last weekend. An elderly lady came up to my table where I was signing books and I told her what my book was about. She indicated she really didn’t care much for poetry. I handed her my book and suggested perhaps she could read a couple of the poems to get a feel for my writing style. After several minutes, she looked up at me…..

September is Suicide Prevention Month, and I am excited to announce the launch of my recently published book, “The Fingers of God.” It is a Christian inspirational book containing 237 poems to give inspiration and hope to those who need to be uplifted during any point in their life. This is often a difficult hurry-up, do-it-now world, and God’s love does reach down and touch the lives of each of us in the sometimes depressing and lonely situations we each…..
