Stanley was born in Washburn, Missouri, a small town that shaped his upbringing during the 70s and 80s. Growing up in this environment instilled in him a deep appreciation for down-home values, which some might now refer to as old-fashioned. Despite the changing times, he remained committed to these values, as they represented the person he aspired to be. To all of his future readers who would spend their time engaging in his writing, he wanted to express his heartfelt gratitude. For him, this acknowledgment was a way to show the highest respect and honor. He had many more stories to share, viewing them as part of his legacy that he wished to leave behind.

Stanley believed that the essence of this quote was about the importance of connection and sharing. After years of writing, he felt it was time to share his work with the world, recognizing that without doing so, he would have nothing meaningful to leave behind.

As he embarked on this journey of sharing his stories, he began with his Author’s Bio, laying the foundation for his literary endeavors. He was eager to connect with readers and convey the lessons and experiences that had shaped his life. His writing was not just a personal outlet; it was a way to engage with others and foster a sense of community through shared narratives.
