About the Author
Elgin B. Oliver had a love for writing songs as a teenager in the eighties. Rap songs that he wrote were like poetry. He wrote short stories in English class but never took the craft that seriously. His talent for story writing was reignited while working and thinking on his fifteen-minute break. He began to write poems and soon reminisced about an old friend. The inspiration grew and he penned his first book of short stories on the break time that he had from his job. A father of four and also a grandfather, he resides in the Homestead, Munhall area of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, along with his two huskies, Sebi and Halla. As a movie lover, Oliver tries to bring his words and ideas to life, making them jump right out at you VISUALLY.
