About the Author
I have always allowed my imagination to have free reign. It has allowed me to write in a way that I enjoy. I simply sit in front of my computer, today, or with a paper and pen when I was younger, (And no not a quill pen) and let the words flow out to tell whatever story my imagination has created.
I never know until I start writing what form it will take. It may come out as a rant, (and go nowhere) or as a blog, a poem, a short story, of a full length book or books. Yes I did say poetry, and I know a couple of English teachers where I went to high school that, either just rolled over in their grave, or fainted. English, as far as writing goes, with all of it rules regarding; verbs, adverbs, dangling participial, nouns, prepositions etc. made about as much sense to me at Latin I did. (All 3 times I took it.) And according to my editor, it still doesn’t.
(Bill Murray recently tweeted “I don’t have bad hand writing. I have my own Font”). I love that line, and it ties in very nicely with my own philosophy. “Let your participial’s dangle. Set your imagination free.”
I was fortunate to learn that writing was an effective form of therapy for me. It allowed me to make it through those last few years of my career. When I was ready to retire, but the rules said I was not old enough to do so.
I have continued my therapy since I retired, and in the last ten years I have written and published over twenty novels, and or short stories under two different pen-names. After reading a line, that basically said, (if you wrote it and are proud of it, put your name on it.} I have made the decision to publish my new works under my own name.
