I am a fifty-nine year old father of three. My day job is maintaining/switching High Voltage systems which often disrupts my writing. 
After toying with the idea of writing a book for many years, something happened in my life, nothing of Biblical proportions, but it changed me and gave me the drive to actually follow it through and I really enjoyed the challenge.
That was thirteen years ago. Now I simply write books and stories of the type I like to read. I don't know what that says about me? 
I write for pleasure, but, like most writers, I hope to have a piece published and see what happens from there.
