Scenic City Cafe: Volume One (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781517288747)

As a young boy growing up in Chattanooga Tennessee, A.L. Gates had a desire to write and tell stories. His father preferred and insisted that he go into a profession that provided stability. A.L. continued to write, but the finished products were kept to himself. A.L. attended the University of Tennessee-Chattanooga where he received a B.S. in Education. When A.L. left teaching he discovered self-publishing, an opportunity he couldn't pass up. He decided it would provide him with the opportunity to see if he had what it took to be a professional writer. As a teacher A.L. often spoke of being a "Lifelong Learner". He finds motivation to write by learning a new writing skill each and every day so that he will become a proficient and skilled writer. He hopes that his works will inspire a reader to turn the page and continue the journey. During the day AL. is determined to write 2,000 "good words" every day. He has been a very busy man behind the computer, currently working on three novels. One of which is, "The Evangelist's Pawn" serial-novel which will be launched in late 2015. When the sun dips below the horizon and A.L. can escape from behind the computer, he enjoys meeting with friends to throw a friendly game of darts and enjoy a cold adult beverage. You can follow A.L. Gates on his Facebook author page where he maintains and updates on a regular basis. He often posts snippets of stories or books that he is working on.
