About the Author

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

What’s a sixty six year old man doing writing an erotic novel with such a serious message? Maybe he’s always been a “ladies man” and wants to regain his youth—relive what he’s done and the ones he wishes he’d done. Maybe he gets some kind of perverse delight in writing sexy passages. Maybe he’s always been a rebel and, true to his heritage, writes an epic of a subject until recently totally taboo, interracial sexual relations, especially white women with black males.

The author, during teen years had his own experiences with places like those depicted in Ladies Man. At age sixteen he, reflective of his troubled youth at that point, was a regular frequenter of several ‘colored’ establishments offering many of the ‘indulgences’ portrayed in these chapters. His ‘mentor’ at this time was a young professional gambler who taught him the inner ‘refinements’ of poker and other games of ‘chance’. The primary lesson the author learned from his ‘lessons’ was “you aren’t going to win if you gamble”. “There’s always someone who knows the game better than you.”

The author’s resume starts as a High School Drop Out, roofer, factory, milkman, over-the-road truck driver, candy machine sales, Research and Development and self-employment, finally retiring after twenty plus years of business administration—directing multi million dollar organizations employing up to one hundred employees.

He is married, has four children and seven grandchildren and makes his home in Colorado. He likes the great outdoors, and also, for the past year has absorbed himself in his newest project—being an author.
