About the Author: I was born September 6, 1971 in Largo, Florida, and I have been a Floridian most of my life. People told me growing up I've loved to read almost since I came out of the womb. By the time I was two or three I could read TV Guides and understand them, and I have been blessed for a thirst for knowledge. After graduating Largo High School in 1989, I got into board operating for radio stations in the Tampa Bay area, a career that lasted six and a half years. Since then, I've lived in Georgia, North Carolina, and twice in Las Vegas for a few weeks each time. Having mostly failed in the telemarketing industry in recent years, I started authoring E-books in 2012 here in Pinellas Park, Florida, where I have lived since 2007. I thank you for purchasing my book, and I would appreciate a review from you, whether you think the book was good, bad, or indifferent to it. My authoring skills can only develop with input, not getting it only keeps me a voice in the wilderness, if I may be so bold. Authoring isn't my only venture in life. I own five blogs and some other websites worth your time, depending on your interest. They are: A Slice Of Big Pauly: A commentary and storytelling blog, usually updated three times weekly.
