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.

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.

That and to work to keep my simple home operating.
