Background

I was in the Air force in the 1940's, and I retired from the building trade 12 years ago, and started writing songs. Something I would have loved doing years ago, however family responsibilities would not allow the time. I wrote one song titled Daddy, Could You Love Me? and this inspired a book by that title. I feel I was influenced by a drive to succeed in what ever gift I had. I was surprised to find I had a gift to write. and today I have completed two novels and a host of songs.
