Always a reader, I inhaled books during my days of extensive world travel. Before the Nook and Kindle, even before laptops became the norm, I would pack six or eight paperbacks for an extended trip.

I think the desire to write has always been in me. The first step is the hardest part of the journey. Since I took that step, I haven't looked back.

In my journey, I have met many authors whose support and friendship have taken some of the twists and turns out of the road.

I have been married 33 years. My wife and I have two beautiful daughters, Katie and Maddie.

Besides writing, I love to cook, travel, drive my Corvette. I have a dog and two cats...and a rat named Arlo. ...more

We the People...

I expect there will be a smattering of bottle rockets and firecrackers piercing the darkness tonight, scant reminders of yesterday’s celebrations. Tons of fireworks exploded above small towns, with names like: New Sweden, Maine - Athens, Alabama - Paris Arkansas - Prague, Oklahoma and London, California.

“Cliff looked as if he had just stepped off of a wild ride at the carnival. Then he fell flat on his back, his head hitting the wooden floor with a loud thump. It sounded like a melon hitting the floor! Cliff’s eyes closed, and he didn’t move a muscle.”

Thank you Hamilton, you're welcome. The wilds of that dark continent is in my blood and wherever I might be in my travels I suffer withdrawal symptoms until my feet are once more firmly planted in African soil.. so yes, I understand what you mean. In view of this I've taken the liberty of attaching Veiled Madness.. I think it may be just up your alley! My Funny Africa you will definitely love.. http://greernoble.com/blog.html
