I decided that I am too old to fool with it if I want to get my stories out there,
so I decided to not believe in it. Consequently, I have not suffered from it.

Getting to tell the kind of stories that I enjoy reading.

First, just decide to do it. After that, decide what you want to write about.
The best advice I was given was to "Write what you know." I decided that
I only knew about 3 things well enough to write about them.
1. I knew about small-town life in LaFollette Tennessee in the 1940's, 50's and 60's.
2. I Knew about Southern Italy in the 1960's, 70's ad 80's
3. I knew about life in the military, both in peacetime and wartime. (BTW, peacetime is much better."
Those are the subjects I write about.

I am wrapping up a 13 book series called "The LaFollette Chronicles."
5 of them are currently available on Amazon and I am publishing them
3 to 4 weeks apart. They all take place in the small East Tennessee town
of LaFollette and Southern Italy, in the middle years of the last century.
The stories are about actual real life and actual real-life situations. Those situations may involve a cheating spouse or crawling over the dead bodies of your friends as you hit the beach during the Salerno invasion in September 1943. (That was the FIRST D-Day, by the way.) or maybe falling in love the very first time you see a person, or maybe fighting for your very life in 50 degrees below zero weather during the battle of “Frozen Chosin,” in Korea in November of 1950. Those are a few of the things that I have going on in my books.

I retired and my wife wanted me out from under her feet and told me
to go write a book or something.

I was watching a "forensics" show on television and learned that 2
type O blood type parents could NOT produce a type A child. That information led to an 83,000 word Romance/Tragedy/Vengeance tale, taking place in East Tennessee and Southern Italy.
