Life is a Crooked Path
I wish I could say something interesting here, but I looked at my life and saw, there wasn't that much there that was interesting.
I was born in a north east mill town, a dyslexic, Irish Catholic 2nd son to two working people who never had much.
I got into fistfights in the streets often growing up, and did poorly in school.
You know, I was the average Irish Catholic kid.
Except, that I had a very high I.Q. for a school failure.
Today parents would explain it away and say I have ADD, give me pills and that would be that.
But truth be told, I was a little ass of a kid.
My oldest sister was 7 when I was born and she remembers that I'd always rip off my diapers.
From the toddler stage onward I insisted on doing things my way.
I was a street tough kid.
When I hit puberty, my brain kicked in.
In my last year of high school I got all A's, and when it was over I moved to the big city to start...
my Boxing career. Hey, I grew up fighting it was who I was.
Not for to many more years.
The guys in the Semi-pro level are better than the guys I had been beating up.
They hit me more often and harder.
Half the time I had no problem, but the other half of the time, I had a fight on my hands.
One night after I'd just decked my sparing partner, I realized I didn't belong in the ring anymore.
I became a theatrical actor. I'd been playing around with it since High School, I was pretty good too.
Years later I got the opportunity to go back to school full time, and took it.
I won a scholarship to a National University with a top notch law school, and started to use my head.
My books reflect my past as all writers works do, to some extent anyway.
Read a writer's work, and you will know more about him than he'll admit to.
