Author Biography

I wrote this play based on a personal experience I had. I was too busy to go say "Hi" to a young man in our church parking lot one Sunday morning. In fact, no one came up to him. While we were busy in church, he was outside snuffing out his precious young life. His note read, "no one cares." It was too late for him, but my hope and prayer is that, through this play other lives can be saved.
