The Ravyn

This is basically how i am thinking of laying out my book ... any thoughts or suggestions are most welcome! The scribbles marked ** aren't posted here at the pages ... yet/anymore. I will possibly add them at a later date ... but not all at once so as to flood the market ... so to speak lol
"Riding the Cyclone"
A collection of scribbles
This book has been eight years in the making. It is mostly a jumble of thoughts written down in old spiral notebooks and hidden in the bottom drawer underneath various manuals for software packages and hardware long since turned obsolete. I owe the inspiration for compiling all of this into one volume to many people. First of all I would like to thank Rachel for believing in me, Judy for taking Rachel's belief and turning it into an opportunity for a real life, and David for being a kind of "father" to me these past seven years. Alexsya, for staying by my side through thick and thin, good and bad, hideous and beautiful; we are birds of a feather, you and I, now let us fly free. Kate and Ken, for being there when I needed support. Everyone at The Poetry Pages, you are my inspiration, my hope and my will to continue on. Finally, Lisa, Serena and Sarah, I can't express in mere words how much I love you. You are my life, my reason, my "wings" and my soul. May each person take from this book something to call their own, a little hope, a little insight, a little inspiration to help those in need. Remember to love each other, all of you, all of us.
