I have had a passion for reading and writing my whole life.  This website is my avenue to share samples of my work with you.  Working with nonfiction, fiction, op-ed style essays, humor and political blogging, this website was created to showcase my work.  I hope I not only entertain you, or inspire you, or convince you of something, but I hope to entice some editors and publishers, too. 

            The longer pieces are based on my experiences as an officer in the merchant marine, a baseball coach in Baltimore, Maryland, and my research into a true crime in Arizona.  Many of the shorter pieces are an outgrowth of my life-long interest in history, current events, and politics.  There is a bit o’ humor, too, just for fun.            

There is a bio section if you want to know more about me, and a contact place as well.  There is a place to click and get on my mailing list.  I will notify you when there is new work to read, updates on publishing books, etc.  There are overviews and sample chapters of each manuscript.  The long, fiction one, alas, does not give away much, as the ending to that is designed to shock you or make you cry, or hopefully both.  Some of the op-eds are political, some about current events, some historical topics, and a few are even humorous, or so I think.
