(Esquire Publications)

I have always loved to write poetry and share my thoughts on page with others. I wrote this book Songs from the Heart, Melodies of the Soul directly after my mother passed away. My mother was someone who was always there for me no matter what, where or when, I could always speak to her about anything.
