Among the many things I plan to initiate this year, the one thing most guarded, yet which I am open about, is the beginning stages and birthing process of what will become my very first book. I'm so excited! This 'baby' of mine will be the culmination of many journals as an awkward skinny little kid, tormented by family, school and religion.

This baby 'book' will be paramount to the adventures of a self morphing "Wonderfully Free Life" Ultimately, cultivating an independent nature liberated from the chains of negative persuasions as only an individual can teach oneself.

Born on "The day the music died" on the Southside of Chicago and eventually raised in the northwest suburbs of Illinois.
This human creature was/is so woefully misunderstood, you'll shake your head many times as you read my honest testimonials and truthful fore's into a life far from being honestly loved and shy of meeting expectations. A life so full and replete with forced alterations, pain, love, and elation, yet far from being finished, according to the manifest of this young man's unique, creative and individual ideological agenda.

I will be taking my time to romance this new life of words. The magical journey begins by taking it real slow. Maybe some candles, a little wine won't hurt. This flirtatious courtship should lead to the creation of my own auto-biography, one that I can raise, yet not have to put through college!  All I'll have to do is write it well and make sure it stays on the book shelves, the internet and as many kindles as possible. I've only just begun and the end has yet to be written. E.K.
