I am a sixty-four year old male with three adopted adult sons and a wife of forty-four-years. I am retired and working on my 3rd, 4th, and 5th manuscripts as well as a handful of rotating shorter compositions. I have short stories on the two websites below. In the past I have been a Psychotherapist, Professional Portrait Photographer, Intensive Care Foster & Adoptive parent. I have an AAS, BS, MS, and MA. I am a member of the LGBTQ Community and came out this year. I often write on LGBTQ issues. |
Fiction, including Romance, Sci-Fi, Human Condition, Sexuality; Essays on Philosophy, Politics, Psychology, LGBTQ; Memoirs. |
Narrative-Short story, Novels; Expository-Subjective,Topical; Descriptive-Detail laden, Colorful. Descriptive is my favorite. |
So many. I love to explore and learn. College was so much more than a degree program. I learned to think on a higher level; to question and examine; to reason better; to extrapolate and apply. I enjoy Sci-Fi, Science, Drama, Human Relations, Horror. |
As Groucho said, "I wouldn't belong to any club that would have me as a member." Not my true sentiment but I like the thinking. I have been in many Photography Clubs, AA, Pee Wee's Fan Club, Honorary Girl Scout, Mensa, Chess & Bowling in College. |
