My column is titled 'You Never Know'

I have been writing for the Independent Tribune for years. In my tenure, I have written articles on an assortment of topics. Most of my stories are inspired by emotional events in my life. I encourage you to click on the previous link and explore the variety of topics. I am certain you will find articles that will generate an emotional connection to past events in your own life.

I was also the regional representative for the North Carolina Writers' Network here in Kannapolis, NC. Although, I no longer lead the local chapter, the group still meets on the last Thursday of every month at the French Coffee Shop at 2087 Dale Earnhardt Blvd, Kannapolis, NC at 6:30 p.m. Once everything returns to normal, if you get a chance, stop by and participate. However, for now, due to the COVID 19 pandemic restrictions, the chapter is hosting virtual meetings using the ZOOM platform. Same day, same time, alternate venue. Text 980 621 0398 to register. The group is lead my Vincent Vezza, a strong leader and a friend.

I am also a contributing writer for a regional newspaper called the 'Senior Savvy'. The newspaper prints stories in the column - Trail Tales which entertain and enlightens Christian seniors in our community. It has been an honor to donate my ideas to this venue. If you're interested in reading previous issues, go to ISSUU and search for the correct month. This will bring up many past issues. I wrote a short story for the August 2018 edition titled, 'Just Write' (starting on page 4) and another published in November of the same year titled, 'He Who is Faithful with Little'. If you have some time, please read my stories and send me your thoughts to alberto.perez@yahoo.com. I would love to hear from you. That said, please be on the lookout for another one of my stories which will appear in the September 2020 edition.
