My name is Raymond Doward and writing has been an important part of my life as a means of expression through creativity considering all that this vast earth and it's beauty has to offer. I am a self-taught author who has been studying and writing for over ten years, while becoming serious within the last three of those years. I am currently a National and International Author with my books in the homes and businesses of collectors home and abroad. I write loose and free while leaning more toward being consistent in conveying my thoughts and heart toward the end. The satisfaction and gratitude that comes as a result of finishing a book and having someone willing to buy it cannot be expressed, but writing is a therapy that brings rest and relaxation as I enter into another world...the world of creativity!!!
