I'm a former commercial photographer and videographer who traveled the world in my work for many Fortune 500 companies. As I stood in Scotland on September 11, it changed my life. My business crumbled in 9/11's wake, and because I was inspired by the courage of first responders I decided that like my wife, I would become a nurse. During fifteen rewarding years as an OR nurse, I was haunted by a story I carried with me for thirty plus years. When I retired, I captured that story in my first novel, a tale of tragedy, eroticism, hope, and the ultimate value of humanity. I am actively writing my second novel.
