I have a fairly lengthy history in the early computer industry and published on program generators and database. Not the stuff of bedtime reading. In my middle period I invented a mathematical take on insurance agency commissions that allowed them to be viewed as loan collateral. Also not likely to abet sleeping. And now, in period three, I have been writing; fifty or more political screeds published in local Colorado newspapers, a few short stories, some poems and a bunch of novels. The first three of this novel bunch were not very good and were dumped. I have high hopes for the survivors. My current project is about the herd instinct in society and how it impacts the lives of four individuals. It is tentatively titled, “Murmurs In a Darkened Room”. I now live in California with a very large dog.
