The stories contained within were originally published in 2008 in a collection titled, \u201cDead Letters for Living People.\u201d The writing took place between 2000-2007. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the time I had just moved to Tampa, Florida from Swansea, Massachusetts and had embarked on my 20-year career in the mental health field. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All of it is fiction in the way that writers are not robots, in all ways I lived, learned, observed, felt, experienced, ingested, and exuded into the stories and poems that make up the collection. This is but a small selection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The self-published tome, \u201cDead Letters for Living People,\u201d can be purchased via Amazon<\/p>\n\n\n\n
