The joy of writing was his epiphany at a tender age. Daydreaming in his basements secret lair, admiring his own love of short poems written on Valentine day candy treats for his classmates.

Joyous remembering the discovery of the truthful nature of the job of writing. Recognizing the artform is less of a status symbol and more labor intensive.

Chuckling at the quesy sensation in his gut he experienced while attending a social function at a young age
and after proclaiming to be a writer, he was asked what had he written. At that time in his life the answer was not one word.

Forty years later 'Let's Hear it for the Boy!' His premier work to date - Ready Set Go is a testament an expression of pure gratitude to
God for life and equipping him with the strength and laughter to overcome the many obstacles in our world.

Always learning and still a student of the art of writing, Mr. Guinn is inspired daily by the perserverance of peoples of all colors
and creeds in this life of wonderment and change.

The book Ready Set Go is the first acknowledgement of what Damon understands as a labor of Love and the first book of the author. He welcomes and prays that you find enjoyment in the work, encouraging your own knowledge to provide him with critiques of the words you read.

Never forget these words, even long after this humble book fades from your memory...
