Personal Note from Brandon:
I am a recluse. My goal with writing was never to publish, but to
simply write; and it is only through the persistence of very close
friends that I made my work public. My passions run deep and it is my
hope that they reflect in my prose.
Several people have already asked, so I shall inform all that I
have no pictures of myself due to a house fire several years ago. For
me, an image on a cover (or a website) is not important. I seek no fame,
and I hope fans can respect that.
What is important are those bonds that we create, those hearts we
mend and those bridges we build which traverse the rivers of injustice.
You want to know more about me, build a bridge in your own community.
We’ll meet on the other side of that ravine
.
