Been a casual writer for at least the last 20 years, my big things being short stories and poems, most which have been lost. Was a columnist for the website Hoopsworld.com (1998-2002). Only now am seriously dabbling into novel writing. When not writing, I teach some piano and am studying dog training. Also learning to do a little graphic design. Draw and paint, too, to keep my right brain stimulated, but when I want to totally let go, I go watch some basketball games -- Go Suns!
