August 5 1966 |
Wyandot County, Ohio, USA |
I was born in Bucks County, Pennsylvania in a little place called Doylestown. Nobody knows where that is, but there are a few famous people from there: P!nk, a so-so singer, and James Michener, a so-so writer. One of these days, I'd like to add my name to the "so-so" list, but until then, I'm just me, a Semi-conscious disabled vet, family chef, novelist and all-around great guy. At least that's what people tell me. |
Novelist, Editor, and as of April 2016, a Publisher, as well. |
Conversational Style, as opposed to APA Style, Technical Style, or Business Style. |
Historical Fiction, Sci-Fi (not Syfy), Romance, Mystery, Thriller (not Horror), or anything that catches my eye and I feel I can expound upon. |
Several, but I haven't been active in more than a year, so most have probably dropped me. I even created my own group, Perspectives, but never got far beyond the initial stages. |
