About Me
Invited in my first year English class to major in English, I declined and continued with the sciences. After returning for a degree in education, I took a correspondence course in non-fiction writing and sold most of the lesson assignments. A second course in fiction writing three decades later did not go quite so well, though I have had four stories (one an Honorable Mention) and one poem published in Canadian anthologies. This is not my picture. Photo from https://thispersondoesnotexist.com/
Type of Writer
Non-fiction
Writing Style
My goal is clear, readable prose. Editors seem to like that kind of stuff. But I struggle with plot.
Interests
Electronics, robotics, dancing (square, social, and ballroom), reading, cycling, and anything that catches my fancy.
