About the Author

I try to tell stories based on my own life experiences. Extended and simultaneous careers in the fields of academia, show business and the arts have given me sufficient memories, resources, experiences , and of course ideas to fill a library with stories emanating from that history and background. The result is fiction, for the most part, with some fantasy thrown in, but underneath it all is the foundation of true events and very real people. Names are changed and circumstances and locations may be rearranged, but there is truth in the essence of the writing. Fact is not necessarily excluded from fiction, but what must be included and is probably the main ingredient is imagination.
