Brazos Mason
I am a 66 year old retired truck driver, who has always written as a second job. When I was working and raising a family, I was only able to write occassionally. Now, I can pretty much write when I want to, and am attempting to delve more and more into various fields. I have one published novel, titled John McDivel, published by http://publishamerica.com/.
My best fields are sports and poetry, both of which I have written about extensively. I also write poetry, and have well over a thousand poems published online.
I was born in Fort Worth, TX; raised in Waco, TX; and have spent most of my life in Houston, TX. For those of you not from Texas, my unique first name comes from the Brazos River, which splits much of the state all the way from near the Texas Panhandle to the Gulf of Mexico.
In the spirit of true Texas hospitality, I would like to wish you all good writing, and good luck.
