The Heroes and Battles of the American Revolution: Or Thrilling Stories and Anecdotes of That Eventful Period (1845)

While in high school, I wrote short science fiction and fantasy stories. When I had exhausted all the writing courses offered, I met with the English Board and they agreed that I should continue. So they gave me my own independent study class. At the end of my senior year, I received a writing award. Years later, when my daughter was high school aged, I was reading the lyrics of some of that wild music that she listens to. I thought to myself, I can write like that! Eight months later this book is what I ended up with! Some of these poems are serious, some are funny, some are dark, and some are thought-inspiring. Some come from my life and others are just stories. But all come from inside my head.
