About the Author

C. R. Crane II. Born 10-19-58, Holden, West Virginia. The proud father of two sons, Andrew and Sean. What started out as silly little poems and anecdotes to amuse my family and friends while in junior high school turned to be a passion with a mind of its own. With the discovery of that first love and heartbreak, sex, drugs, and rock and roll, I had to write down in my own way everything that I felt or experienced along the way. This book is my own self-imposed therapy. It has kept me from going INSANE.
