I was born in Picken County, Alabama, to John Earl and the late Minnie Bell Forest, as the youngest of ten children. I was married to my wife, Dorist L. Harris and together we raised four children, My writing journey began 2002 during a particularly challenging period in my life. I hit rock bottom forced me confront and evaluate myself, and I didn't like what I found. This led me to start attending church with my sister, and over time, I found that the church became an integral of me.I attended school at Bright Day Church, God in Christ Jeffersonville Indiana, in 2007 received my Chirstian Counselor license.On May 27, 2016, I had the honor of becoming the first Deacon at the New Destiny of Faith Kingdom Ministry International Church in Louisville Kentucky.
