Mark H. Brookshire

Born in Dallas, reared and raised in the suburb of Farmers Branch, Mark Brookshire has his roots deeply anchored in the great state of Texas, walking and working his way through the labyrinth of life, all the while, writing and collecting his thoughts along his varied path. He tried his hand on numerous trades: deckhand on oil rig, painter, construction worker, cable guy, etc. Creating not a working-class hero. To the contrary, no hero, no glamor, only a toughened hide and a man of many skills – part Handyman/part Renaissance man.Winning a poetry contest at college, then writing for a prospective cartoon that was mismanaged to failure, were some of his early writing ventures. Still, it simmered inside until it finally boiled over in a contemplative heap of thoughts and incites. Now, with great earnest, it must proceed. Heated emanations from the soul!!! To be continued…
