Long-time author of technical papers but a first-time author in the field of Creative Nonfiction. The book I've written has been well-received by friends and family and might have some appeal to others. The theme of the book is living without electricity, indoor plumbing, or other frills.

Background
Information
|
|
I wrote this book for my grandchildren to tell them how I lived as a child. My family lived a nomadic lifestyle, finding shelter whereever we could...barns, log cabins, tents, abandoned houses, and even a chicken coop. I wanted to share my childhood with my grandchildren before I was too old to recall my adventures.

I have been retired for 11 years and have dedicated my life to public service (after living for 4 years in the United Arab Emirates I vowed that I would never again take my citizenship for granted). I work as an election poll worker, have served on the Orange County Grand Jury, and have worked for the U.S. Census Bureau.
