About me

Gender Male
Occupation Engineer
Location Texas
Introduction Born and raised in Connecticut. As a child, I was always daring and reckless. Never one to let common sense stand in the way of a great adventure, my bold feats of stupidity were legendary... "Surprisingly", that same spirit carried over into adulthood, as I sought out entertainment that included: scuba diving; skiing; mountain biking; mountain climbing; flying; golf; motorcycles; stocks and of course, experimentation with various alcoholic refreshments. Later in life, writing became an extension of my deep desire to experience "new and exciting worlds". I have written several books, but none have been published through any formal channels... I've heard the process is long, laborious and demoralizing, the thought of which sickens me. My foray into E-publishing came after a friend suggested my works could fetch dollars instead of dust inside my sock drawer... a righteous observation. An engineer by trade, I have worked all over the U.S. and usually write in my spare time... that is, when I'm not enjoying a bottle of Scotch and a quality cigar. I am a naturally long-winded individual, so writing is what happens when I can't get anyone to listen to me anymore...
