Retired engineer who has gotten in touch with his inner child since retiring to the mountains of NC. Writing books for children is fun. Writing technical articles is work.
Background
Information
I taught mechanical engineering for 31 years at NC A&T State University before retiring to Lake Lure. The natural beauty of the Hickory Nut Gorge/Lake Lure area in western North Carolina has inspired me to write a series of children's books, The Lake Lure Chronicles, that are based on the area . I am currently (late 2006) at work on the third book in the series. The first two books, read-to adventure stories for children four and up, have been very warmly received by people familiar with the area, including residents and visitors alike. Although based on a specific region, the stories are of universal appeal.
