About Me
74 yo retired engineer transitioning to writer. Most of my 'professional' life has been spent in Oil & Gas, with forays into Power and Chemicals. My audience is early Boomers - those born between 1946 and 1952. My intent is to paint our world in optimistic colors and hopeful textures. We have a much to give, and more to live. I hope you'll join me on my quest.
Type of Writer
Boomer Lit. Focus is on early Boomers, though I'm not confined to that generation. Exploring the human condition.
Writing Style
1st person POV with minimal description and narration. I like to let the characters speak for themselves. Novel as screenplay
Interests
Writing, writing, and writing. Along with that is food - cooking and eating, modern art, classical rock and roll, and a general interest in life. As an INTJ with a borderline ENTJ, I can move between both the social and the introspective.
