About the Author

There is no single theme as the author is somewhat genre-challenged. Instead, readers will find a variety of categories including Blogs, Essays, Eulogies, Poetry, and Short Stories. I’ve been writing as a pastime all my life and now as a vocation, enjoying the challenges and rewards that go with a new purpose in life. The website, therefore, features writings of a creative, academic, and fun-loving spirit.
