No picture of me could be truthfully representative without my daughter Sondra at my side. She’s the reason I live and the reason I write. My greatest hope is that we both bring warmth and hope to the hearts of anyone who knows us, or reads our work.

I work for the U.S. government as a network security specialist. Besides the eight hours per day Uncle Sam squeezes out of me, I spend an additional four to six hours each day working on Internet sites with Sondra; writing whatever comes to mind; or reviewing manuscripts for our publishing business, Iriswhite.

I began writing short stories and poetry at age ten. Thinking I had a talent for it, I considered a career in literature, until age 20 when I concluded my mother was right when she told me I would never be able to earn a living writing poetry. I gave up and began other pursuits better suited to furnishing a roof over my head and food on the table.

Twenty years in the Army, three years of self-employment, three more as a human resources manager, twelve years in civil service, two divorces and two fantastic children later – I find myself writing again. I have things to say  about love, life, fulfillment, loneliness and truth. Whether anyone reads or listens remains to be seen. I know Sondra listens. We compete against each other with the written word and it enriches us both.

Knowing I couldn’t be the only person with emotions and thoughts to share, I began a search for other souls with the same compelling urge to be heard. I think my search succeeded. Webstatic was born.
