Mr. Guertin was born in the Northeast Kingdom, Vermont.in the waning days of the 1950’s He was raised in Connecticut but spent summers in the Northeast Kingdom as a child. It was there that is his imagination was allowed to run wild, like the deer that he would encounter in the woods The first poetic words he ever wrote were "As the water runs, so doesn’t Jimmy in his dreams. " His teacher encouraged him to write more and the fire was lit. Over the course of forty years this late writing bloomer honed his craft or crap whichever you prefer. He studied the works of Lennon and McCartney, Robert B. Parker as well as Tom Robbins (the author not the actor). He likens his brain to that of the late great Robin Williams on too many sugar pops! It is an unfettered mind at times but he wishes he could find his reading glasses sometimes. His main goal to writing and publishing books on Amazon is for the reader to enjoy. He knows his works need a great editor, but he is too cheap to pay for one at the moment. Perhaps as his books become more read, he can afford one. But for now please except him for his grammatical faults, he is human after all! Peace and love
