Mr. Bounds has published multiple books, including Pieces of a Dream and multi-volume Record of Poems, which is composed of thirty years of poetry that was inscribed on bar napkins, scraps of paper, and recorded in sailors’ log books. He wants his words to provide hope and courage, and encourage adult literacy, as it is never too late to follow one’s heart and achieve dreams.

A Texas native, Mr. Bounds traveled a lot because his father was in the U.S. Air Force. As a young child, he moved to northern Italy and remained there for many years. After he graduated high school in Oklahoma, he joined the U.S. Navy and served during Desert Storm. He attended several colleges during the Navy, acquiring enough credits for a degree without obtaining one; he already had a lifetime of education and experiences from traveling the world. When he was in his thirty’s, he lived in Spain. He now resides in Colorado Springs, the largest city in Colorado. In addition to his volubility as a writer, he has excellent creating writing and visionary skills.

He has been published in newspapers and poetry anthologies, having been featured in VFW, Poets & Writer’s, Rattle Poetry, and Paperclips magazines. When he is not writing, Mr. Bounds enjoys riding his Harley Davidson, listening to music, traveling, and spending time with family and friends.

Mr. Bounds dedicates this recognition to his life partner and book illustrator Jaleen Brooks, close friends and family, grandmother, 5th grade teacher Mrs. Freeman, and, most importantly, God.
