I am a fiction writer and poet, having published two medical-legal suspense novels, many short stories and professional nursing, and nursing oncology articles, and several hundred poems which can be read at my website. What began as a hobby has become, in my retirement, nearly a full-time job. I am the father of two adult daughters, who after growing up in Ohio, now sell advertising in Portland, Oregon. I also have one granddaughter, Madalyn, and a Yellow Labrador, a Maltese, and a massive Newfoundland named Hannah, who is just certain that she is the head of our household.
