about me
I didn’t realize I could write a book until later in life, but what I didn’t understand was that I had been learning to successfully write for several years. It was called writing to sell my business. I have owned a financial management company, an exclusive traveling club for women, and a company which prints and sells my artwork. And besides my lovely wife telling me to “get to the computer and write that book you’ve been talking about forever,” I was always writing copy about the business.
I have had tremendous successes in my life and some really incredible failures, but I never gave up my dreams of being creative. At the heart of all three of my businesses was a concept, and idea that I wanted to share with others. What I write is a result of turning ideas into stories, and according to many people in my life, I do that quite well. I hope you think so.
The “Pink Books” came from my starting the Pink Pajama Traveling Club. It’s a member’s only women’s travel club which is a real company. My wife now owns all the stock and loves to tell her friends all about the new friends she has met just talking about the PPTC. What I’ve done is written, anonymously, about many of the members, the founders and the staff and done it in a way that it’s about real women, fun women, fun places, and all the interactions about the other people in the PPTC and in their lives.
“A Magnificent Conspiracy,” takes an entirely different look at the assassination of John Kennedy. Yes, true, it’s not at the top of reader’s lists, but when readers have contacted me about the book there number one thought is “You know, after I finished the book, I just sat there thinking this makes more sense that some of the other theories they’ve put out there. This could have really happened?”
I have three other books coming out over the next year, so hope you like what I’ve done so far. You have to admit they are rather different.
And one last thing, there are those who say women won’t read a book that a man wrote. I haven’t had that happen. My readership of the Pink Books is almost all women and they like the books.
