Biography
Some companies foolish enough to hire this overfed, long-haired, leaping gnome (apologies to Eric Burdon and the Animals) included Coca-Cola in Atlanta Georgia, Corning Glass, (the facility there built the Hubble space telescope mirror and I have actually touched it) and Syracuse University.
Currently I'm retired and living in the woods in Tennessee. When I say I'm living in the woods I mean exactly that. My home is surrounded on three sides by forest less than twenty feet away and deer and turkey are daily visitors in my front yard. Now that I am retired I'm doing what I love. I sincerely hope you enjoy the stories.

Have you always wanted to write? Many people do. One of the things setting a good writer apart from a poor one is the story idea. To capture a reader's interest those readers have to be attracted to an intriguing story. Without that, without a compelling idea keeping them turning pages, there's little chance of anyone reading your work.

- Real Dragons Don't Wear Sweaters
on Oct. 20, 2011
All I can say is, if you like fantasy and good humor pick up this story. It's a wonderful read. This story is extremely well written and thoroughly enjoyable. Adults will get a chuckle and, if you're a parent, you will definitely enjoy reading it to your children. It will quickly become one of their favorites. I suspect it's hard to write a story that will appeal to both adults and children but "Real Dragons Don't Wear Sweaters" does just that.
