: About Me

Thanks to a fantastic High School English teacher, I developed a love of writing at an early age, but it was a college professor who encouraged me to consider writing as a career. An enlistment in the US Navy and 20 years as a traveling Field Engineer, gave me a well-rounded broad view of American beliefs and politics. I've been to nearly every US state, and a dozen European and African nations. I met my wife on one business trip, and we now have the blessed ability to live in a small town near the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia.

I've published two books, "The Threat From Within: Denial of Truth" and "The Boobonic Plague," and have two others in progress. I've also published dozens of freelance and contract articles, and, for a time, wrote an online editorial for my high school alumni website.

The computer has made it possible for many more people to write than actually can or should. Those of us to whom writing is a passion, do so, not because we expect to get rich. We know that to simply make a modest living through writing is a great accomplishment. We write because we have thoughts and feelings inside of us that must be released. We write because we have to. We right because it's as natural to us as breathing is to other people. We write because not writing is unthinkable.

Hypocrisy on Parade Democrats are attacking President Bush again this week. His offense? Telling the truth about liberals. In a speech to Israel's Parliament, the Knesset, President Bush told the law-makers, "Some seem to believe that we can negotiate with terrorists, and by some ingenious argument, they will be persuaded they were wrong." He pointed out that as German forces began invading Poland in World War II, a United States senator prayed, "Oh God, if only I could have talked to Hitler, I could have talked him out of it." It's typical liberal arrogance that leads one to believe that ...
