: About Me

Hello, I'm Larry, a 50 something guy, who enjoys writing. To me writing is a way to write your own script in life and then sit back and see how it plays. My passions include reading, writing, backpacking and running. I also enjoy historical research, travel and sports and investing.

I'm an aspiring novelist, currently working on a novel in the Western Fiction genre. Publishing a novel has been a long-time dream that I hope to realize some day. It is the way of books to outlive the author and so I think it would be a great way to be remembered. Especially so if something I was able to write was something that brought pleasure to others, as books have done for me my entire life.

Writing is something I've done for a good many years but only recently have I begun exploring the world of web based content publishing. I've actually found it quite enjoyable and see it as a means of working on my writing skills.

I'm available for temporary or special freelance assignments. I have a good deal of life experience and can write competently I think, on a variety of topics.

My parents always told me ...

My inspiration ...
