Theodore VillellaSince the 70s, Ted Villella has kept a hand in creative writing. While observing, commenting, and sometimes participating in the American drug culture, Mr. Villella has written hundreds of poems, short stories, essays, and journals. Often, he documened what he experienced, from pot to opioids and the Kratom he uses to manage the chronic pain from injuries he received in a severe car accident when he was 19. In this first book, he tells his story.

In Part One of this book, Ted describes his journey from a 4th grader in a rural school in southwestern Pennsylvania to today. He is honest about struggles with depression that have disrupted his life, a theme that surfaces in some of the poems he includes throughout the book.
The founder of Access Media International, Inc, an innovative learning design and development organization specializing in creating custom learning solutions for major corporations, including GM, Ford, Chrysler, and Yazaki, Ted is known for his creativity.

He taught undergraduate and graduate courses on Educational Media, Advanced Windows Multimedia, Introduction to Windows Multimedia, Survey of Telecommunications, and several Windows applications courses in the nascent days of personal computers.

With over 25 years of experience designing and developing instructor-led, online learning, and distance learning courses on an extensive range of topics, Ted has published hundreds of titles for several major corporations. Now he turns his hand to a different kind of writing, something far more provocative and vital. Read More Read Less
