Rural Iowa |
I drowned when I was three, didn't begin to speak until I was six, and struggled with language since then. I began writing at 32 and have written eighteen novels since then. I had to choose between writing or publishing because I worked for a living, so I choose writing. Now that I'm retired, I'm starting to publish my books/novels. |
I am not driven to publish, I am driven to write. |
I seek to be a prose stylist. |
Writing, Waterfalls, Wolves, and whisky. Grace, grandeur, and German Shepherds. Music and movement and moments of beauty. Phi, fractals, and Fibonacci numbers. Absinthe, art, amore, and alliteration. |
I am a member of the smallest minority group: the individual. |
