I grew up a military brat, before lifeguarding and then managing the city swimming pools for gangsters in San Bernardino Ca.  I worked in corporate business and have owned a couple of businesses.  I married and had five children. 

      A year ago I was at a father daughter dance talking real estate with another dad.  He told me he had published (self-published) a couple of books.  I had always wanted to do that.  
     
I went home and researched writing.  The study and practice of the art has continued.  I've read an average of 8 books and written a minimum of 20,000 words a month since the 2014 Washington Elementary School father daughter dance.  

I'm hooked.  I have just completed my first non-fiction manuscript.
