In college I wrote two screenplays and a lot of poetry.
Then I got sidetracked for 40 years trying to make a living in the real world. Now I am free to pursue my passions. I have written for a regional golf magazine and a local newspaper, and provided ad copy for many small businesses. And I have published three books. I write the same way a musician creates music. It may not be something you want to hear, but I keep trying. I try to offer readers an entertaining and informative concert of ideas I hope you can dance to... |
