I left the world of regular paychecks in 2006 to follow the urge to write. My colleagues thought that I was nuts, especially when I told them how low my money-making expectations were. There came a point, however, when the books in my head gave me a needed come-to-Jesus...

When I’m Gone
When I’m gone I hope they’ll say I tried real hard and did my best
