| Introduction | I'm a former teacher. Just retired after 38 years sharing classrooms with little kids. It was a great run. I am a dad, a husband, a grandfather, musician, brother, son, friend, reader, writer, story teller, seeker. Born in NW Indiana, a grateful transplant to South Carolina. 68 years old and couldn't play hard on the recess field if I tried. Currently working on a third novel. Funny thing - it doesn't feel like work. |
