Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I was born in Germany, brought over to America when I was one. Given to the government a year later. Passed around between orphanages and foster homes until five, then adopted by a broken family with a father who sexually abused and beat his children. By eleven I had spend over a year in different treatment facilities. After burglarizing from the neighborhood I was sent to juvenile hall where my adopted parents abandoned me. For the next six years I went from group homes to Youth Prison, when at nineteen I went AWOL and started traveling the country as a half-bearded bum. Around 27 years old I settled down to raise a family and now live near the ocean passing my spare time between writing, playing with my children, and canoeing.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Money Poems: Piecing 2-gether Wealth, Health, Happiness, and Wisdom.
Struggling and fighting with my wife over money. I have lived most of my life on the edge, knowing that everything will always work out – only, very rarely do things work out prosperously. Reading and listening to others talk about abundance, I finally came to the realization that I was going about things all wrong.
Money Poems became the process of me working through my hang-ups and blocks that prevented me from opening to the abundance of life, in addition to getting over my spiritual too-goodness by actually touching in with the material world as something good and not something evil as I have grown to accept.
