Life as lived by real people has always fascinated me. That explains my writing focus. My appetite for meeting new people and dealing with new subjects is never satisfied. Please stay in touch as in 2013 I will offer two new books.

First will be a book of original essays, "Billy the Elder." Each essay is about 200 words and covers a wide range of real life themes including writing, reading, news-making, government, religion, family dynamics, friendship, fame, hating, loving, true beauty, self-defeat, self-preservation, and the end of life. The mix is intense, humorous, introspective, motivating and ironic and should stimulate reader thinking.

Next, "Me Today-Who Tomorrow" will share a true life story of recovery from a severe traumatic brain injury. Young executive Angela Tucker had not expected to die that day. A truck/car crash had killed her husband and left her hanging on to life by a slender, golden thread. At thirty, with her brain severaly damaged and the critical C1 Atlas and Axis vertebrae badly broken, she had lost almost "everything." She could have quit but never did. Today she is an advocate for others who have suffered brain injuries.
