I'm the son of an English teacher, and former high school teacher as well. I worked in the federal government, primarily on legal matter until retirement. At this point, I am self employed, working in the financial services industry. Creativity is something to be fostered -- and that runs into the erotic as well as the rest of life. While I haven't yet had the courage to compose my own stories, I admire those that do. My forte' may be in assisting others refine their stories, rather than writing my own.
