Hey Bro,

I read "We Called Him Tata" and could tell there were actually some real personal experiences written in. I still have yet to read "Joe Montana Saves the Princess"... on my to do list for the day when I take a break from writing later on.

True, stories are so much richer when we tap into real memories, experiences and pain. My story "Ole' Broken Bones Pete" has a lot of personal memories from my childhood (the main character Charlie is really me). The part with the two pedophiles nearly kidnapping Charlie actually happened to me. I got really lucky that day. Happened word for word. In "Summer in Texas"  Jason and Joey are me. My childhood (probably like yours too) was spent outdoors on my bike or skateboard with my friends, exploring, hoping for some small adventure.

Glad to see others are doing the same thing, writing, tapping into their souls. After all, that's really what we are doing; allowing the world a glimpse into our souls.
