When I chauffeured for several years I witnessed over and over again bad driving maneuvers by and misbehaving motorists, some who endangered my patron riding with me. So, since I was also doing some writing with several books already published* I decided to interview some of my passengers randomly.  With what I got down on recorded conversations and some diligent research I was able to finish and publish the first book in this series The Careless Driver.  However, that seemed not enough so I embarked on  more research and wrote a manual that would give both sides of the driving equation, i.e. the skills of an expert driver vs. the inexpert driver or undereducated motorist. The Careful (Predictive) Driver vs. The Careless (not predicting) Driver

 

This is the first real time that I have chosen to promote my writings. It’s not that I am a modest guy, it is more that it takes quite a lot of persistence to begin and continue to write until a work is rightfully finished. Not all of my works are illustrated here, and I have a new novel that now is published.

I began writing in 2008 at the University of North Alabama which is in Florence, AL.  I was a resident not a student. 

 

Because I have survived several near fatal experiences I write about the future more than the past, but I pay tribute to the past as well in my essays.

As an undergraduate of NYU in Manhattan I did not find many stimulating subjects of study except Anthropology and lesser, English. I ventured into the work-a-day world to see what that was about and found it interesting and challenging and fast paced in New York City. My education around this time took a non-secular turn and definitely for the better because as most youths do now and then and probably in the future realize, we lack true direction until we mature by discovering what it is we originally wanted to achieve when much younger or we simply by necessity decide on a path that we know we will not deviate from.​​

 

Intellectually though, I could and did read at a tenth grade level when six years old and I tried like the devil to be precocious. The reason for which is contained in my writings. This should give a clue to how I have come to write about various subjects and how I write.

​

 Growing up, I tried to help those around me who seemed less well endowed or physically challenged. Several essays and stories revolve around these impulses.  And thank you for taking the time and making the effort to better understand what and why I write.​
