Q: How long have you been writing and what other careers or jobs have you had?
A. I’ve been writing since I was a freshman in high school. So I’ve been writing for 60 years. Yikes! I didn’t become a ‘professional’ writer until 1970 when I took my first newspaper job as a sportswriter. But I didn’t become a writer of novels until 1994, when I wrote my first manuscript – one which I wouldn’t dare show to a publisher today.
