My Writer's Bio

I have always had an interest in writing children's books but life always seemed to get in the way. However, after retiring from professional life, I now have the opportunity to pursue my passion. I love animals and my fiancee and I currently have three dogs, two of which we recently adopted from a local shelter. I have to thank my fiancee for her gracious inspiration and support. She is my editor, sounding board and constant companion. I am a cancer survivor, and appreciate the time I have been given and want to bring some joy into the lives of children. I remember when my mom and dad read to me when I was little and I shared this tradition with my own daughter when she was growing up. Books have always played in important part of my life. I forget who said it, but those who read can live a thousand lives, but those who don't only live one.
