Got my first fishing article published in 1969, First poetry published in 1975. While in college wrote "The Social Significance of the Writings of Carl Sandburg". 1977 was when I got into writing full time, became an editor for a fishing magazine that folded in 1979. After that fiasco, I didn't write again until 1995. I wrote a series of fishing articles on how to read stream and river waters for a friend who published them on the web. Currently working on my first true novel, starting a homestead farm to retire on. I am older than most dirt, or at least it feels like it most days.
