From my early years as a student at the University of Alabama I started to realize just how complex colleges and university communities truly are. Students, faculty, administrators, not to mention avid alumni, sports fans, and other stakeholders beyond the campus. Universities are fascinating places and, while insulated to a point, they are not immune to the intrigues and challenges seen elsewhere or to untoward forces though in our minds we might expect and want them to be. Despite unifying goals, stakeholders have their own needs and agendas.
'The University' is a multilayered story of inextricably linked lives set to the cadence of one school year. Only this year the stars align in a way that shakes fictitious Brighton University to its very core.

I love meeting and stepping into the lives of the characters that swirl around in my head. It's magical!

From my undergraduate days I've always wanted to write fiction but my career as a professor took me elsewhere until I retired. My advice is to keep that dream alive, read as much as you can, and write!

Actually, the manuscript I’m working on right now has an altogether different theme but it would be hard for me to say goodbye to some of the characters in this story and I’m beginning to have glimmers of where The University might pick up. So I hope you’ll stay tuned!
