About the Author

Ever since my days of going to high school in Minonk IL, I was not only encouraged by my English teach but also My Mother Jacqueline. They both would say I have an imagination beyond control. In all honesty, everyone has an ability to use their imagination. This is where invention of mechanical means, medical discoveries and exotic stories has been spawned. I not only grew up in a Chicago neighborhood with many friends, some I hold dear, but also in Minonk IL. There were harsh times in my family as with many other families who are just trying to make a living and survive. Through these harsh times I would bury myself in a fantasy world. I would day dream constantly. This helped me cope. To all those who don’t think they count, think again. Do not become a common individual; a ward of the state. Break the bounds and flourish in your own mind. You are greater than you think. Do not deprive the world of something great, YOU.
