Retired from the world of business, I have drawn cartoons, written gags, and published stories in the True Confessions market. My major influences as a writer have been Robert B. parker and Janet Evanovich, as well as many others. I've been drawing and attempting to write for many years. I didn't go to collede, but I have been a member of various writers groups, including an after-hours workshop hosted by Professor Bob Darrell at Ky. Wesleyan College.
