Writing is what I do, what I did for a living. Now I write because I love to do so and, maybe help change a few things.
Background
Information
I was born in London, Ontario in 1950. Currently I live with his wife of over 50 years, in a small and modest house in an equally small town a mere forty minute drive from where I was born, as well as part-time in England and Ireland and Spain, enjoying all 4 countries in my dotage. I began my writing career in secondary school. My English teacher suggested a send a story I wrote, as a class assignment, to a magazine. The publication bought the piece and asked for more. As a result of that teacher I have written numerous pieces over my 50+ years as a writer, and just as numerous books under several pseudonyms, not wanting fame or notoriety. Unfortunately, publishing means making concessions and following formulas that never really sat right with me. I never got to write what I wanted and in the style the worked for me.That might be why I never wanted my name associated with the books I wrote basically to make a living. Today I write what I want under my real name. At 70+ years of age, I am a bit of a non-conformist, a rebel, and believe we all should work together to make the world a better place. What a radical notion in this day and age! Even more radical than a dyslexic to be a writer (which I am both) is the fact that I write what I like and say what needs to be said in my stories and books. I am too damn old to kowtow.

Accomplishments
I don't like to boast, but it seems every one does these days. All to get readers' attention. Well, I have won a number of awards, but it should be my words in a book that get your attention, not some awards. I write now to get your attention.
