When I was young I wanted to be a writer. I got there, but certainly not by the path I expected to take. Life is unpredictable. But that can be good; it caused me to grow in directions I never would have expected. I have written books about stock market investing, theology, and mathematical quandaries. My latest, a children's book about the animal kingdom, caused me to focus on how unique we are, compared to the animal kingdom. We do not instinctively know our purpose and place. We must discover who we are, and that makes life thrilling. Everything I write is imbued with a desire that readers experience the thrill of discovery--and have some fun in the process.
