About Me
I am a retired civil service employee and an Air Force veteran. I am married and have 5 children and 6 grandchildren. I am a self published novelist and am a working poet. I have been published on-line and in England through Poetry Today. I have at least 5 novels in various states of completion and am editing my second. I do not self promote very well and have only sold 51 copies of my book. Sometimes I think it is enough to have just written the book.
Type of Writer
My first novel was a mainstream romance about paleoanthropology. My second novel isa sword and sorcery fantasy.
Writing Style
I like the style of Terry Pratchett. His use of humor and tongue-and-cheek is an effective way to make a point.
Interests
I have a Liberal Arts degree and it reflects my interest in everything. I also have graduate work in Clinical and Experimental Cognitive Psychology. I sent in a film treatment to Steven Speilburg once but he returned it unopened.
