As part of recovering from my car accident that happened on Friday, I am set to get up, move and take deep breaths… I will be one of the guests reading one poem. I will read from my upcoming poetry book ( Dreamers Needed ) and my books ( I’m No Hero ) & ( Counting Waves ) will be on sale $20.00 each.
I will be able to take pre-orders of my upcoming book that is getting launched at the end of December or early January 2019
