I write from the heart and draw from the depths of my imagination. Writing is a passion; sharing is a need. Writing exorcises the demons within and cleanses the soul. Words have meanings. They convey thoughts and images that excite and compel. It is up to the author to choose his/her words carefully to paint the picture in his/her head in such a way that the reader can share it. In this way, the writer injects a little piece of himself/herself into the world, into the future. I am a 61-year-old retired chef living in Marana, AZ with my wife, Kim, and two cats, Shoes and Coco. I enjoy playing keyboards and guitars with local rock, blues, or Alternative rock bands.
