Peggy and me at a James Taylor concert in Chattanooga, TN, a present for ME.

I live in Nashville, TN.  I have been married to Peggy for 46 years, and we have two wonderful daughters who each have two marvelous children.

 

I am crazy for music, art, and jokes,  (right-brain stuff…)  I have written a couple of books, played a couple of instruments, drawn a couple of pictures, and made a couple of people laugh and made some grind their teeth.

 

I used to love sports.  I do not split infinitives. My after-shave smells like vegetables cooking at the Waffle House.

 

 

It is my idea that this website should not just be a website to sell my books, but also a site about me and the things I have learned and discovered that may be useful or enjoyable to my peeps and readers.

I have been blessed by working in a field that I enjoy all my life, for which I am grateful, but there were many times I was bored, too.  And there were always times I dreamed of being a writer.

I mean being a writer who made money at writing, maybe eventually enough money to live on.

I had done some writing in school and enjoyed it, but when I got out of school, I had to move into the real world.  And, sure, sometimes writing can be boring, but nothing like this was!

So, I went to work.  Years passed.  Decades did, too.  Then I was able to try writing again, and it all came back to me.  Somebody had left the gate open!

I realize that more than 90% of the people in this country secretly dream of writing a book, never discovering that it’s easier than they think.

I have started to learn about how to write – and I am going to share it with you.

I have started to figure out a little bit about how to be a writer – that’s different.

I learned a bit about how to act like a writer.  All this stuff is important, and I’m going to share them with you.  I hope it helpful and enjoyable to you- of not, I guess just don’t read it.  I hope you do, though.

This is not going to be a writing COURSE, though. There is another place for that. Here we’ll have some about writing and some about me.

It’s about my books, my world, me, and some tips on writing, editing, & publishing.

If you subscribe to our newsletter, you’ll get my once-a-week excursion into my life and some writing, editing and publishing tips.
