I've spent my life reading and always wanted to write. About ten years ago, I started One Night in Bridgeport, a legal thriller. Bridgeport is now available in paperback and for the Kindle on Amazon, and in all other e-reader formats on Smashwords. Writing that story opened the door to writing. I've since written about 45 short stories—with two stories published by The First Line and two at www.toasted-cheese.com. Weed Therapy, about a man's journey to find happiness, is my next novel ready to be published. And, after that, I have three partially completed novels ready for my attention. In my other life, I'm an attorney. I have two teenagers about ready to start college. I cook, bake, garden ... and read.
