Changing Careers – Messing About With Books

Changing Careers

A year ago, I restarted my life by becoming a full-time writer.

Being a practical person, I decided that if I was going to write novels, I should also sell them. This blog is part of that effort. I plan to use it as a forum to connect with my readers, to tell them what I’m thinking about and how the writing is progressing. Hopefully, you will tell me what you are thinking, as well.

Before I switched careers, I had been a student, a physicist (I have a Ph.D. in Theoretical Physics), a university professor, a labor union organizer, a high school teacher, and an entrepreneur (I started four companies and sold three of them). Maybe someday I’ll write about these adventures.

Lots was happening in my business life when I finished my second novel, so I decided to leave the technology world and focus primarily on my third book, an historical novel called Once We Were Strangers. I expect it to appear around summertime in 2018. It’s a big book and it’s been a challenge to write. Look for several blog posts about those challenges.

My next few posts, however, will be about those earlier books.

I’ll be seeing you.
