About Me
I was born and raised on the west side of Detroit and grew up in a house that my father and grandfather built. I spent thirty plus years in the auto industry working with regulators and politicians to craft regulations and legislation on fuel and other environmental issues. After retiring, I began writting and have self-published under my own publishing banner "Dandelion Man Press" six novels. Recently I published a collected work of my first four novels under the title, "While Drifting".
Type of Writer
At present I am focused on fiction and creative non-fiction. I recently finished an historical epic set in Poland.
Writing Style
I cut my teeth as a technical writer so my style is compact, concise, crisp. See I am working on changing my style.
Interests
Writing, Research for my writing, Genealogy, Golf.
