It’s like riding a bike.

I feel like I’m being attacked by the press, being asked where I was, why the sudden silence and why my blog has come to a complete standstill? Let me silence the crowds once and for all lol, I am perfectly fine and programming should resume next week…

The funny thing is, I went through a patch of rough. Maybe you can identify with my feelings or maybe you have a good piece of advice to share or keep to yourself…just saying.

Poets Pen: Eyes of the Snake

On deaf ears, your presence falls

Blinded by the chaos

Confined to the madness of these walls

On sand you slither as on hands and knees I crawl

Confused by your beauty

And the horrors of your charm

On unfertile ground, we meet eye to eye

locked in a deathly stare

You have a wicked smile

And eyes of gold that hypnotize

Rising like the sun you do

Ready to strike

To deal the final blow

Thing is snake so wild

 You that hide in the plainest of sight

Blinded I am no more

And scared of you I have never been

Thing is snake so wild

With your eyes of gold that hypnotize

Did you not know

Things that hide 

Are often the easiest to find

So strike if you must

Be sure to do it hard

Because the next time we meet

It will be you lying beneath my feet.

To the beginning of something good…

So with only a few hours to go till my new book sees the light I am celebrating already and I can because I made it. This book was the hardest thing to write because it covers so much about stuff that happened in my life and stuff I still face today. I eased the pain of the process by going a different route instead of telling the story exactly as it happened but they are all relevant and true except the characters and scenery.

I have been down many paths in my life, some that almost destroyed me and others that built me up as a person and gave me the strength and perseverance to move forward. I agree that we are the ones that in the end decide which path to follow, we are our own worst enemy at times but not always. Sometimes life throws you a curveball, throw being the gentle version of the word I was going to use.

Do I want you to buy it?  Yes, I won’t deny it, I do. If you buy a copy for everyone that this book might help I hope you do so. We all share the same sun but for many, maybe even someone you know is going through a tough time and needs to see that they are not alone and never will be.

I don’t consider my life to be so special that it will trump everyone else’s. I’m just a guy with true and relevant stories to tell about my life past and current. Stories that say NO to labels. NO to abuse. NO to stereotypes and bullies. And a YES to hope, love, and inspiration.YES to the true heroes of today, the survivors.

In the end, it is your choice.

To celebrate the release of Spilled Coffee I am giving away 10 FREE ebook copies exclusively via Smashwords tomorrow on WordPress. I will be sending the code out to those that likes this post (meaning you are interested) and whom I can get into contact with. 

As always Thank you,

 

Happy Days
