Betty the Bee

Alexander Paterson Brown is an American author who has written poetry for many decades. His early life included running boats and working for a tugboat company. He later became a commercial fisherman. While these activities were enjoyable, his first love was writing children's stories for his young family, and poetry. Now in his senior years, he decided to publish this selection of poems. He currently lives in North Carolina with his wife Rebecca, daughter Stephanie, 2 dogs, 2 cats, 3 peacocks and a small school of goldfish. He claims he is not a pet lover, but they all find him strangely attractive. He reasons: Sometimes, you just have to live with your life's choices.
