In all my years as a poet and journalist, I have had many great adventures. I have met great people, had many lively discussions, and expanded my writing considerably. I am thankful to all who have made it another great year and I hope you and yours are having an exceptionally wonderful new year.

I would like to recognize a few of my great colleagues as well as let my readers know what is in the works for 2009. My dear readers I would first like to recognize the following writers who have given me much to think about through both their commentaries and their writings over the last year.

Judy Sheldon,Nelson Doyle,R.B. Parsley,Poetic Enigma,you all are great people and gifted writers, I thank you for being a continuous inspiration. I would also like to recognize Ralph Brandt,and Keyboardologist. Keep up the great work dear friends in the coming year.  To those not mentioned here, know that you too are appreciated as well. My fellow authors have become like family to me, God Bless you all.

Dear readers,colleagues,friends,and even critics….I thank you all again for making my journalism experience one to remember. 2009 will be an exciting year, as you can see at the previously mentioned website I have begun publishing an online arts magazine, wish me the best with that endeavor, and may the inspiration and creative juices keep flowing.
