I left home at fourteen, hitchhiking around he country. At nineteen I became a vendor at venues like street parades. If you ever bought a balloon or cotton candy at a parade in the eastern states, you might have bought it from me. I also sold souvenirs at Super Bowls and Mardi Gras for over ten years. at 29 I married and raised three boys, two where from her first marriage. The kids grown and we are now divorced, I finally got to write.... The Travels of Tary Noland, is based on some of my personal experiences, a lot more of me ended up in the story then I intended. One day I just started writing.........
