I love fiction, writing and reading. Long novels can be amazing. The power of stories in the human experience can't be overstated. Climate change, war, and corrosive politics are only some of the problems we confront every day. Stories help us come to grip with both life and our feelings.

Speaking about my fiction and real life is something I love to do. Contact me to see if my talks on "Discover Mayberry" might be of interest to your organization.
