Born and raised in Orlando, FL, James T. DeShay(Jay) has spent most of his life conforming to the manly stereotypes.   Serving as an instructor in the Orange County Public School System for 30 years, Jay shares that writing has always been a part of his life but ultimately came to full fruition about 8 years ago. Through the process of writing his first book(Thoughts, Love And Reflections), his ultimate goal was to prove to the world that men have the ability to share their deepest thoughts in a way that bring true beauty to love and romance.  Since its publication, the book has done that, being received into the literary world with critical acclaim. “This is exactly the response I am looking for. I’m not out to change the world or find fame and fortune; but rather to prove that the emotions of men can be deeper and more romantic than society depicts” he concludes.  Please visit my webpage  www.JamesDeShay.com
