I have writing in my blood! I began writing poetry before I was 10, but didn't consider publishing until in 1976 when I self-published the paperback version of "I Fell for 13 Dreamers."

Living with my wife, two vociferous parrots, Sancho and Quioxte, and a rescue dog, Honey keeps life entertaining and at times cacophonous.

My most recent passion is to help others publish through my new company, Realization Press.

I am also a personal branding architect and have revealed much of the process in my most recent book, "The Joyous Brand."

I abandoned teaching English in the public schools after a decade. I took time and did odd jobs: working in restaurants, bartender, driving a cab to keep a roof over my head as I dedicated myself to writing.

Since, I have made my living as a technical and marketing writer as well as by teaching business writing in corporations and through community colleges and adult writing programs. I also have a publishing company, Realization Press which has published more than 35 books.

I love to write about writing and branding for authors as well as write poetry and continue working on my unpublished novel.

I published a book "Interviewing Quick Guide: The Art and Craft (Writers Blocks Book 1)" in 2015 which is a guide to interviewing people in a business or company to create an article, a video, audio or other written materials. More books in the series include "Write a Non-Fiction Book in 4 Weeks" and "Write a Fiction Book in 4 Weeks."

My most recent book, "The Joyous Brand: Personal Branding for Authors, Speakers and the Rest of Us" was released in early October of 2018 and can lead you as a reader on an adventure of self discovery to unearth your personal brand.

In June of 2020, I compiled and published "Thriving Beyond the Storm: Practical Advice for Small Business Owners from Small Business Owners." This collection is a response to the pandemic effects on businesses and how to position an enterprise for the future. It features articles from 19 seasoned, savvy and stalwart professionals. The profits from the book are being donated to a North Carolina food bank.
