Welcome to my small part of this great industry. I hope to spread the word about my writings and endeavors into the vast literary universe.

I began writing only a short time ago. I have been undergoing psychological therapy for many childhood and adult traumas that have plagued my life. I began reading as a way to escape into another world. After a number of discussions about the types of books I was reading and how they seemed to mirror my life in so many ways, my therapy became not just reading these stories but to write my own.

So I began writing a memoir of my life. This became my first attempt at writing. But I wanted more. So I began to delve into my fantasy worlds or what might have been if I had turned right and not left (A Doctor Who reference).

I have set myself a goal to finish at least one of my fiction novels by the end of 2026. I am hoping I can achieve more than that.

Just a quick update, my goal has been achieved within the first six weeks of 2026, I have finished and published my first novel on Amazon. Please check out my debut novel Camping at Stanley’s Crossing.

If you are interested in following my progress, click on the link to the Verona Book Club. Verona is a fictional town from the many stories in the Gay Youth Chronicles written by one of my favorite authors Mark A Roeder. I want to acknowledge my other favorite author Daniel Elijah Sanderfer, whose books are amazing reading also.

Acknowledgement to Ken Clark who graciously designed the original Verona Book Club Title. Ken is the Webmaster of Mark A. Roeder’s website and does all the fantastic graphics for Mark’s books. You can email Ken.
