Albany, NY & The Great Adirondack Mountains |
Truck driver by day, (got to pay the bills somehow.) but when evening rolls around I don my lucky Wilson cap and pound away at the keyboard. I have wanted to write since I read my first novel at fourteen. The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton. And, yes I admit a bit of influence from the fictional character John-boy Walton. At fifty-four years of age I look back and wonder how I got off track with my dream. I have no illusions about my self. I love writing and am having the time of my life. |

My lovely wife who is an art photographer. Road trips thru the Adirondacks, Vermont, Cape Cod, and the great State of Maine. The family cabins in Northville,NY. Reading and Writing! Did I say Reading and Writing? LOL |
