Biography

     I'm a married father of nine, from Ocala, Florida, born and raised in Ocklawaha, Fl. I have always had a passion for writing: words, as well as music. I haven’t been able to work much since my 18th birthday, in 2005, due to a car accident that day. I was hit by a car, and the older I got, the more my body started to hurt. So, what can a man with a large family do to help support his family? Not go backwards and go back to the streets, because don’t nobody like them prison blues.  I have had my share of that, in and out of jail, trying to provide for my family and catching dead ends. The money was good, but the chances, and the risk were not worth it to me, anymore. It took me a while to realize that. So, sitting down with a sober clear mind, I really started to think. What am I good at, and what can I do to help my situation?

       I've always had a story to tell, just didn’t know how to put it into words. So, one day it clicked for me, while my wife was at a dollar store after I had my surgery. I told her to get me a notebook, I'm going to write a book. I started writing and never stopped. They say to be a writer, it must choose you. I guess it chose me. I'm currently working on a few more books. I guess I found what I'm good at, and hopefully my readers find what they’re good at, too.  This is James Welcome, and God bless.
