John Repp has loved to write and has had a unique
and genuine way of expressing his feelings and
putting them down on paper since he was 16 years
old. He especially enjoys writing poems, short sto-
ries, lyrics, and songs. As John was growing up in
a small suburban town on Long Island, he did not
read much and as a result, did not develop his writ-
ing skills. It was only after he attended college and
majored in 18 th & 19 th -century English literature that
he was inspired to learn and grow as a writer, and
his literary and writing skills improved dramatically.
His appreciation for creative writing continues to-
day and has become a very personal and gratifying
hobby.
