Thank you for visiting my author page. I will have links to Amazon and Kindle where you can purchase my books and short stories. I will also post music that I wrote and recorded. If you like the songs and wish to support my music, there will be links to music sites where you can purchase the songs. It will be the same version I post here and will have been recorded at my home studio. Hopefully, I will also have links to other social media sites such as X as I get them. I will also be developing an email list that you can join for updates so please visit the Contact page to sign up for my newsletter.

About D.S. Watson

I am one of those people who took the long road to what many would consider a successful life. It included being fired multiple times, trying just about anything to create a career, and eventually finding my niche in my late 40s. In my 20’s, I worked seasonal jobs for the USDA Forest Service and the National Park Service, leading me obviously to becoming a reporter for the Shelbyville Times-Gazette. After being fired by the publisher for not writing a fake news story, I left Tennessee to become a clerk-typist for the Forest Service in Washington, DC and was eventually promoted to…wait for it…secretary. At one point, after being asked to leave a porch I was renting in Maryland, I lived in a tent behind a church. You don’t make much as a GS-4 secretary, so deciding I needed a career change, I moved to Nashville, TN to become a songwriter. While there, I studied music at Middle Tennessee State University where I was admitted as a classical piano student…too bad I didn’t play piano…and apparently no one appreciated my songs, either. Having failed at music, I moved by paying some guy to slap some wheels onto my ancient ten by fifty (including the hitch) mobile home and haul it up to Bowling Green, Kentucky where I became a master control operator and production assistant at WBKO-TV. Yes, sir. I was living the dream on minimum wage at the Skyline Mobile Home Park. I then moved to Toledo, OH, where I was let go from not one, but two television stations. Being desperate, I cast my morals to the wind, graduated from the University of Toledo College of Law, and became a sleazy bottom-feeding lawyer. And that’s how I became a storyteller.
