Welcome! Thank you for visiting my author page.

I’m an author, not a writer. I looooooove to write, but I can’t do it unless I have something important to say. For me, the written word is a tool I use to convey an idea. Honestly, if I could draw anything more than a stick figure, I would make graphic novels, but my siblings inherited all the creativity and imagination genes in the family. Somehow, I ended up with the ability to think deep thoughts, make bad puns, and do math. I am genetically incapable of conjuring up the time, energy and absolute dedication required to write a book unless I am highly motivated by some earth-shattering idea that I thought up while cleaning bathrooms. I also can’t write a book unless it makes me laugh. So, there’s an odd mix that should invite curiosity.

At any rate, I don’t write very many books, but the ones I do write are worth reading. Happiness. Romance. The Secret of Life. Yep. I don’t mess around with small ideas.

That last book, the one about the secret of life, is my opus. It is the culmination of all the questions and thoughts and ideas that have been warring in my brain for the past thirty years. I finally was able to corral them into a cohesive whole. After all these years, I finally wrestled my questions and uncertainties into submission. I now see that life makes perfect sense. The essence of life’s meaning is at once all around us and yet deeply hidden. Sorting out these ideas was the hardest thing I have ever done. And the most satisfying.

Thank you for visiting my Author page. Feel free to check out my books if you are interested in deep thoughts disguised as humorous stories. Happy Reading! And . . . Happy Thinking!
