Thank you for visiting

If you’re interested in knowing more about me, I’ve included some information about me immediately below the picture of my e-books that are available on the Kindle (.mobi),  nook (.epub) , and Adobe (.pdf) formats.

Meanwhile, I invite you to explore some of my Kindle books.  You don’t need a Kindle to read them. You can read them on any iPad, iPhone, Android phone, Windows phone, PC, Mac or other device that has a free Kindle app. In fact, many of these devices display the books in color.  (The only color Kindle tablet is the upcoming Kindle Fire.)

A little bit of background

I am a professional writer and computer programmer.

Much of my writing is for companies and governmental units.  As an example, I’ve documented the computer systems of major companies, ghost written speeches for executives and created many presentations for clients that range from small companies to state governments.  My consulting clients include companies like Hewlett-Packard, VISA International, Dade-Behring, Synthes, Bell Atlantic, Group I, LLC; GMAC Mortgage; and Intuit.  As a Management Analyst for the State of Nevada, I’ve done a lot of writing as well as database development.

I write for love

Much of my writing is for love.  For example, my children’s book The Monster on Top of the Bed was written because I wanted a way to pass on my strongest beliefs and values to a grandchild, just in case I should pass away before my daughter got pregnant and had a child.

I write to make sense of life

I write many poems, plays, short stories and books without being concerned about making money from them because they help me to make sense of life.

I write for the thrill of writing

To be perfectly honest, writing could be considered an addiction with me.  True, it’s a socially accepted, even positive addition (there’s an oxymoron for you) but an addiction, nevertheless.  Many times, it’s all about writing, not about marketing.  I have written hundreds of things that were not commercially viable, but that I feel have value.

Value and Friendship Pricing

Okay, many of my books have value, but they won’t sell big time in a bookstore. But, the world is changing, and it’s now possible to share my writing through platforms like Amazon’s Kindle and Barnes & Noble’s Nook.  This idea appeals to me because it means that people can search out one of my books on an arcane subject, and for less than $5.00 get a copy instantly.  I want to share these with you, and I’ve decided to make them available for what I call friendship pricing–$.99 to $2.99.  The idea is to make it easy for you to become a friend even though we’ve never met my buying many of my books, and getting to know me.  I feel that for $.99, it’s easy for you to take a chance on one book.  I also feel that if you like one book, you’ll be motivated to buy more than one, possibly all of them.  After all, you can buy 10 or fifteen of my e-books for less than the price of one of my books in a bookstore.

An invitation

So, I invite you to buy one or more of my books, and to keep in touch.  I have over 100 books that I’m interested publishing and I hope that you’ll tell me what you value about my writing, and what you’d like to see in the future.

I’d love to hear your comments about my books, and any other suggestions you may have.  Please use the contact page to get in touch with me.  It may make take me a couple of days, but I will get back to you.

I have a children’s book, The Monster on Top of the Bed.  It comes as a full-sized book and also as a CD with a small booklet.  The CD reads the story in three languages.  The book is improving the lives of children, and LB Creative, LLC Press offers a unique fund raising plan for schools and libraries. In a nutshell, if there are 200 children in your school who sell 5 copies each, your school can raise $10,000 in a couple of weeks, and the investment up front is as little as $20 for a single sample plus order forms.

Celebrity Magic a forthcoming book that relates the charitable interests of celebrities.
