Retired masochist -- I mean middle school science teacher (some of my students undoubtedly would say sadist). My stories usually involve science, young people, and running -- my long time addiction activity.
Spent some time in the Coast Guard, so Coasties often make cameo mentions.
I enjoy writing and style that is thoughtful, that slows the reader down to consider the ideas being presented. Many things happen in a person's life, all adding up to a complexity which helps guide a person or character through events in which they find themselves. Although situations may not be predictable, there should be some logical basis to how things work out and how people deal with those unpredictabilities.
