I found the courage to tackle a novel late in life after bad knees put a damper on running marathons. Endurance comes in handy as there are many parallels between writing and distance training, like the challenge of not knowing whether I'll cross the finish line until I've written the final word. If the process is torture, I hope the product is pure entertainment. These novels appear under the pen name Adel, but as I no longer feel the need to separate creative endeavors from family and career, my latest book has been released under my legal name. If you enjoyed the sci-fi, please check out the eco-fiction novel, A Pangolin Slept on Buddha's Lap.
