Remember - A Poem
It sets the heart to wondering

Amidst a biting baleful haze
Are we merely meant for dust?
Still, I strive to have and hold
Siblings living brave and bold
Despite…

For nearly 25 years, I put off writing the story that eventually became my first novel. I’d had this rudimentary idea that I kept trying to make work as a contemporary adventure story set in the “real” world, but there was this one image that persisted in my mind, which simply…

I would like to come clean about who has funded every bit of writing I've done.
It's me... by way of 60 hour work weeks for the past 30 years. And my patient, loving wife.
