Becoming an author has been an extension of my dad's creative leanings. He wanted to be a writer and I had no inclination toward being a writer. When I think back, there were several moments when I wanted to be a writer. President Kennedy was in office and I was writing a poem to send to him. A friend blew the idea off, so I stopped midstream. Later, when I was in high school, I became aware that students were dressing uglier and uglier. It started the revolution of dressing in an "age of ugliness". My last epiphany preceding the writing of my book was going through corporate bankruptcy, twice. All of my coworkers talked about writing a book about the craziness that went on within the organization. So, fast forward to 2006, I started writing about what I knew. Voila! There was my best seller - "HELP! My Company's Going Out of Business, What Do I Do Now?" written after many hours of blood, sweat, and swearing. Ergo, enjoy!
