I have always wanted to be an author. I had my first rejection slip in about 1965. Wish I had saved it. For many years the only writing I did was technical in nature as pesky things like three children, nine grandchildren and three great grandchildren came along. My technical writing was in the field of quality in several different journals.

Then a wonderful thing happened. I lost my job and was out of work for almost eight months. To keep from going crazy I wrote. I posted my stories on an online site, and lo and behold people read them and actual said nice things. Fast forward about eight years and I am retired and writing for the fun of it.

A lot of what is in my stories is based on my life experiences, gasp! Give or take a lie or two that is. The one fortunate thing in my career is that I got to travel world wide and have been to the locations I write about.

In my younger days hot air ballooning, sky diving, white water rafting, spelunking and other goofy stuff were on the agenda. Now days the big adventure is riding my mower around our yard.

BTW I was born in the middle of an air raid in England during World War II. That is probably the most interesting thing I have ever done. Mum never forgave me. Happily married for 56 years I hope my wife doesn't catch on to what a goof I am.
