I have published my fair share of scholarly articles, a couple of poems, some essays of current interest (one re-published in a Critical Thinking text). For a few years now I've been working on an autobiography which in the writing process somehow morphed into an autobiographical novel.
I love baseball. I love playing softball. Oh, and I love my children.
