I've been a writer all my life. I edited my high school yearbook and literary magazine. I took creative writing courses in college. My first job was as an advertising copywriter for a retail department store. After that, I was writing print, radio and TV commercials at a variety of ad agencies in Chicago, Memphis and now San Francisco, where I emigrated with my wife and two daughters. (My Chicago experiences were a virtual clone of Mad Men.) Over the years, I've committed hundreds of TV, radio and print ads, while pursuing a more legitimate form of fiction: writing novels. Mindclone is my first published novel.
