Those were defining years for my generation and I remember so much from that time---the idealism and the sense of possibility, the culture clashes, the movements, the demonstrations, the changes in lifestyle, new paradigms for looking at the world, and of course the music which included concerts that seemed to transcend.

Taking a sharp turn, I ended up working in aerospace for eighteen years and later the government (low-income housing) for another seventeen years. Currently I am retired from full time

Introductory Post

Hello Goodreads Readers and Writers!

I'm very happy to join your community. I have created the blog for a couple of reasons. One is to promote my three Amazon eBooks: "The Shrinking Sea", "Ben and Dave", and "You Can Go Home Again". I have included previews for each book. I welcome any feedback---good or critical. That will really help me grow as a writer. I tried to add 'Widgets' for each book but Read more of this blog post »

“Remember what I said the other night. Ken and Barbie don’t always end up with each other.”
Steve King, The Shrinking Sea

“I see. And more importantly, what makes you think that if you had sex with Scott, that would preclude him from coming on to or having sex with another girl?”
Steve King, The Shrinking Sea

“Read, read, read. Read everything -- trash, classics, good and bad, and see how they do it. Just like a carpenter who works as an apprentice and studies the master. Read! You'll absorb it.
Then write. If it's good, you'll find out. If it's not, throw it out of the window.”
William Faulkner

“The past is never dead. It's not even past.”
William Faulkner, Requiem for a Nun
