He is married to a wonderful woman, has two great sons and the older of the two and his daughter-in-law, have given him two beautiful granddaughters.

When the block hits me, I stop everything with the manuscript...I don't look at it or think about it. Sometimes this may be hours, sometimes days, I've even went two-three weeks when suddenly the idea comes to me of the next step in the progression.
