Tear at the leash that keeps you contained and controlled - After 22yrs in banking(some latent hostility towards the profession may be evident), I put together a series of "doodles" into my first novel-An Ancient Evil.I'm usually stomping through the woods or mountains, or in a kayak on a lake looking for the next chapter.I currently live in the grand Old Dominion of Virginia with my lovely wife of 17 years, 2 daughters, Bob the Guinea Pig (real name), and the least intelligent, but sweetest beagle on the planet.
