About Me and my Novel, Calculated Risk

My first Novel, Calculated Risk, was published by Bella Books on September 16, 2021. https://www.bellabooks.com/product/9781642472660/

Also on this site, I'm going to share one of my other loves, photography. The photo to the right is of a mother and son Cheetah pair, I took in 2014 in Tanzania.

My writing started with some UCLA Extension creative writing classes where I wrote the first four chapters that would evolve into Calculated Risk. After retiring from my career in aerospace, I used the National Novel Writing Month (2019) as the impetuous to finish my novel. Going into the editing process, I joined the California Writer's Group (https://calwriters.org/) near me to find an editor and writing community. 

I'm now working on my second novel about Antarctica and have joined a  Writers at Work Workshop called Crafting the Story hosted by Terry Wolverton (http://writersatwork.com/).
