Since childhood, my dream was to write a book and become a writer. Sixty years later, I am still pursuing that dream which has now become a reality. I write in-depth essays on the human condition in an attempt to better under ourselves and the world we live in. A persistent traveler, I write detailed travel essays to such places as Ladakh in Northern India, the islands of Bali, Cyprus and Malta (to be featured in an upcoming book in Spring 2016, and Eastern Turkey, including descriptions of flying through the heavens in a hot-air balloon. Finally, I also write poems, a new discovery of mine that has resulted from my love affair with words.
