Thoughts Unlocked

Written by a locksmith, Thoughts Unlocked shows us that an everyday worker can write thought provoking, passionate poetry that will stand the test of time. He writes with a keen perspective across four themes: life, love, nature, and Jayliana (his granddaughter). Bringing language to life, Alan satisfies first time readers of poetry as well as life-long lovers of the art form. Grab hold of his words and fill yourself with memorable thoughts.

Alan grew up in the suburbs of Pittsburgh, PA, where he was introduced to the arts by his mother. He attended West Virginia University, where he graduated with a degree in political science. He’s called Lancaster, PA, his home for the past 25 years. When not working at the lock shop, he spends his time writing with his granddaughter, and his best friend, Patch, his dog.
