BIOGRAPHY When I was a kid, my mom said I better be famous since I needed so much attention. I couldn't sing or dance, so I started writing at 6. I have a son and one grandson. I am a graduate of Ball State University. My latest book is Screaming In Autopilot, and I have children's books published under the pen name Max Bear. Besides people reading my poetry and being moved by it, my next big dream is to open up a cat cafe, and have poetry readings and live music and the best coffee in the Hoosier state!
