I am a voracious reader. I consume an average of one book per week in addition to magazines and professional articles. I gravitate toward historical fiction, action, and science fiction and abhor romance novels. My writing has been generally confined to newspaper reporting, college periodicals, and technical manuals. I truly believe everyone has a novel inside them worth writing. The problem most people have is the lack of ability or incentive to construct and communicate that story. I've lived the life, had the experiences, and plan to find the means to combine everything with imagination and write . My bucket list includes a published novel. 'Nuff said.
