I use the writing name Layson A. Williams not to protect the innocent, but because I like the sound of it. I'm 34 years of age and have been married to a wonderful woman named Erin for thirteen years. We have 4 daughters, all of whom have four legs and a tail each. I lived in the Sacramento Valley for twenty years, and moved to the Willamette Valley in Oregon to experience another area. I have several short stories and poems available for review.
