Sometimes it pays to slow down and listen. Today’s bonus featured author is US Veteran, Truck Driver, and Grandfather, Lonnie Lesane. Lonnie and I talk about how he started writing in the 7th grade, finding the confidence to publish his work, and more!!!   Key Thing’s You’ll Learn: What it was like to finally publish his book at 55. What inspired Lonnie to become a writer. His plans for future books. Why he published a Children’s book first instead of a book of poems. His advice for other fathers who want to creatively express themselves   Lonnie’s Site: https://www.lifewithlonnie.com/ Lonnie’s Book: https://www.amazon.com/Little-Mans-Big-Lonnie-Lesane-ebook/dp/B094N6BJZ3/ref=sr_1_1?crid=BB28PWMOXYSW&keywords=lonnie+lesane&qid=1640488534&sprefix=lonnie+lesane%2Caps%2C75&sr=8-1   The opening track is titled “Set Sail” by Sparks Dynamite.
