I am retired from laboring for 17 years, now a writer. I have two books on the market, collections of short stories. My current project is my first serious effort at a novel. I have been a political person ever since I saw the dark side of society and how our leaders take advantage of us, from late childhood. Always been radicalized. My avatar is Thomas Paine, one of my favorite characters of history. Now I am over eighty and I pass the torch on to the firebrands who would usher a calmer, politer, socialism to serve. Anything less is to fail. I plan to be social to the extent life affords me and to write until somebody lifts my cold dead fingers away from the keyboard. That and to work to keep my simple home operating.
