Thanks for stopping by my home. I apologize for the mess – but this is somewhat reflective of my life. I’m in a tremendous state of transition, quickly approaching a milestone birthday and trying to figure out what to do with my life. In the last year, I have been a school teacher, marking agent, Realtor, an administrative assistant, and even a preacher.
Yet through it all, I’m a writer – a story teller.
I grew up with grandparents who would put us to bed with a story about Red Jacket – our imaginary simian brother named for his notable attire. The little monkey would always do what we had done that day – but get into trouble doing it.
Storytelling is in my blood. I love to craft a tale that informs, entertains, and challenges. I may not be the most refined: I use adjectives prolifically, I can be repetitive at times … and redundant too, and sometimes I even make typoss. But if I make you laugh, cry, and think, then I’ve done what I’ve set out to do.
Feel free to browse around and witness the tales I tell. You can jump over to Facebook or Twitter and say hello as well. I love meeting new and interesting people. Be sure to stop and sign my guestbook while you’re here.
-Matthew
