I have observed common threads of tension, intrigue, trust, despair and elation in human nature as I managed various aspects of those operations, and I have incorporated those experiences into my writing. From my experience in the Vietnam War where I received the Bronze Star, I have witnessed the saddest and worst part of people, and also the best. In the White House I wrote the plans to market the reorganization of the federal government. I created the media offices in Sidney, Monte Carlo, and Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida and trained and managed the staffs to oversee the communications of the Men's professional tennis tour.After forty years of helping children with cancer through being a counselor for many years as well as on the board of directors of an organization called Camp Sunshine. In addition, from my close association with The Carter Center, I have observed the value of continued hope and commitment to difficult but worthwhile causes. By writing fiction, I've tried to expand on my history and the events I have observed. I still have a long way to go in tapping into all of that rich material, particularly since politics and entertainment so often go hand in hand, as I hope I have demonstrated in my work. I have stories to tell.
