My name is Drew Kinney. I am a college student in Rochester, N.Y. I study political science along with communications with a specialization in journalism. I have been writing poems and song lyrics for about a year and a half. I wrote my first novella in my fourth semester at St. John Fisher College and it took me only that semester. I have been editing it with my sister, Stephanie Macro, for about a year.

I have recently took up playing the guitar and have advanced tremendously. I can already compose songs and sing while I play. I have been working with a friend of mine composing songs and putting some of my lyrics and poems to music.

An interesting fact about me is that I am a strong supporter of living life to the fullest. Recently I moved to San Francisco, Califnornia from my home in New York. It was an interesting experience that I would never take back, though it did not work out. I am back in New York and have written a lengthy poem about my experience. I have also been working on a song with the poem as its lyrics. The poem, Living Loving Elsewhere, is about discovering the true meaning of the expression, "its the people not the place."

Though I study politics and the media at St. John Fisher, I would love to publish some works before attending law school so that I can become a full time writer. Quite frankly, I do not want to wear a suit and tie everyday. Thank you for reading my work.

Sincerely,
Holland Drew
