I first started writing ten to fifteen years ago. The first pieces I wrote were spoofs on the office where I work, on the people who work there and the way things happen. These pieces were very much 'in-house' and basically incomprehensible to anyone who didn't work there. I DID learn, however, that I could write. I have since 'grown' into larger topics whose themes are more common to everyone.

Unfortunately, the story behind 'Innocent Bystander' is true. No one could make this stuff up, not even a fictional character. It is the story of my dysfunctional relationship with my father and the life I lead because of it. This tale clearly makes the case that truth is indeed stranger than fiction. Unfortunately, lives are ruined this way. His selfish desires stood in my way from the time I was ten until I was fifty three. My father's pursuit of another man's wife defined my entire life.
