My name is Carlton Payne III. I started writing when I was thirteen, mostly poetry and song lyrics. I graduated from an HBCU, majored in computer science, and minored in music production. I have experience working with small music labels and early educational application development, but I want to tell stories to children to help them enjoy reading. I want to take the rhythm of the music and put it on a page with no beat to follow, but for the reader to choose how the words should flow.
