Written In Blood
I am a reinvention. Life can be like that. I had a couple of strokes and my memory is full of ghosts and black holes. Yet, some things are crystal clear as a pristine blue sky.
I know I was once a poet and a children’s book writer. Those skills have not abandoned me, just the memories of what the Hell I wrote. I am still working on piecing together my Swiss cheese past, but mostly I am writing myself back into existence.
There are no holes in my encounters with Bigfoot. I have met Bigfoot many more times than once. He is my Guardian, my concrete island on which I stand. One can’t compromise with truth, to do so is paramount to spiritual and mental suicide. I am not suicidal, just the opposite in fact, I plan to make it a lot further than most.

I have pieced myself back together. There is a lot of scar tissue but I am intact. I hope 2026 unfolds like a red ribbon. The blue ribbon is lost and almost beyond salvage, but slavage we will. Writers always find a way.

I found this and your author interviews page of great interest. I’m also from northern Michigan (Tawas City) and lived for quite a few years in Mio! Most recently, I lived and taught in the U.P. I’m now retired and living in Texas near my children and grandchildren, working toward my dream of getting published. Your books look great, and I’ve enjoyed exploring your blog.
Hi Becky. Yes, Mio is just down the road. I grew up in Alpena but moved to California for Mist of my adult life. Moved back to Michigan in 2016. My wife, Mary is from Texas. We have family there, also. Thanks for stopping by.
Wow! Great blog! And a GREAT author!
Thanks Ally.
What is it like to be a poet?
All depends on the day. Today it is romantic.
