I was 'busted' by my ninth grade English teacher for writing poetry on the desk.  She directed me toward the Creative Writing class, and I would love to be able to say that it has been a lifelong career of scribbling ever since.  Actually, it has been a career of re-inventions, so far.  I still claim to be a woodworker, but the musician/poet/songwriter was a fun sojourn, I really was not world-class.  So, here I am, full circle as a writer again:  telling stories, writing novels, short stories, and the sort.
My wife and I live in Saint Petersburg, FL. where she is an educator, and I am a freelance writer, voice over artist, and woodworker.  Some day, we plan on making the move to south-central Colorado, or L.A. (Lower Alabama).
Keep an eye out for my new novel:  "A Collection of Heroes"  I plan to be submitting for publishing in 2009.
If you are interested in having me write a story about you please do not hesitate to ask.
