I was born in Akron, Ohio in 1964, and I grew up between the suburb of Stow and the college town of Kent. My interest in writing started at a very early age, and I had my first professional publication at age 16. Poetry was my original focus, and I was fortunate enough to participate in an early web-based critiquing group called The Alsop Review. In my 20s, I had a number of poems published in literary magazines and poetry websites. I later shifted to humor essays, and I had the honor of seeing my pieces placed inside gourmet coffee cans. I wrote thousands of informative articles for WiseGEEK.com and other content sites. I was also part of the original team for BestReviews, a consumer product review company. Most recently, I wrote Associated Press-level articles for Media Decision and Wealth of Geeks, and I've also started my own publishing company, with 16 titles currently listed on Amazon.

I currently live in the Deep South (Alabama), with my wife Amy and our three cats: Natchez, Pippin, and Sir. I'm the organist for a small Methodist church, and in my spare time I enjoy singing karaoke, watching obscure movies, and creating videos . My titles can be found on Amazon, BarnesandNoble, BooksAMillion, and numerous ebook-only sites. I also publish humor essays and poetry created by Kevin Lawson and Elliot Kent.

This powerful collection of poems explores the aftermath of a devastating war, both physical and spiritual, where the speaker grapples with the physical and emotional scars left behind. The text paints a bleak picture of a world ravaged by violence, where the remnants of humanity struggle to survive amid the ruins of their past. The poems use vivid imagery and stark contrasts to evoke the profound sense of loss and despair experienced by the survivors, while simultaneously questioning the motivations and consequences of war. Comparable works include The Waste Land by T.S. Eliot
