Sobre IBD

This book is a story about my family, mixed with the journey I have taken through this world. Life is never easy, it’s not supposed to be, it’s a learning process, a mixture of joyous memories, combined with some painful experiences. First of all, I’m an army brat. My education began on a trip to Stuttgart, Germany where I attended through the first grade. I really enjoyed all the miles we crossed, the moving part was traumatic. I have had so many different jobs, I cannot remember them all. Each one was a learning experience. I have run a printing press, worked as a tool and dye maker, run a construction business and even tried pro baseball. Then, in 2002 I had a motorcycle accident, which left me comatose for a number of days. All of my memories, all the different occupations have led me to a writing career. I don’t regret any part of my life, I simply look forward to tomorrow.

    It appears to me, the art or act of reading has been lost on younger generations. They seem to be profoundly consumed by computers. If something, in an abbreviated form, doesn’t show up on their tablet, it can’t be worthwhile. How can this be? What parental indiscretion has produced such a limited outlook? When turning the pages of a written piece is entirely too difficult, the...
