Bio: 

For 20 years I was a diehard closet writer. Though I worked at writing everyday, I made no effort to publish my work and seldom shared my fiction with anyone except my wife. By my mid-forties I had accumulated a trunk full of material, so I started to send pieces off to one place or another. I won a few contests, and attracted the attention of a literary agent. Etc.
