Brown s Pine Ridge Stories

I grew up on a farm in South Georgia near Jay Bird Springs. I quickly became my father s shadow as I followed him everywhere he went. By the time I was eight years old I could out-work most grown men. This won me praise from my parents but only disdain from my older siblings. In high school I was encouraged by a wonderful teacher Miss Barbara Ann Davidson to become a writer. After graduation from high school I worked full-time while going to college and continued to help my parents with their farm. When I was twenty-one I started my own business. It was many years later when I was reunited with my high school teacher that I promised her on her death bed that I would make a diligent effort to become a writer. We started mailing manuscripts to publishers movie companies and even to NASCAR. I was told my stories were very interesting and exciting but because I was an everyday nobody they weren t willing to help me. I was very disappointed so I decided to self-publish some of my stories. I believe the average person is very important. We made this country great and it s our sons and daughters who risk their lives to protect us and we should never accept the label everyday nobody
