Author bio

Okay, a serious bio is long overdue. For over 20 years I've delivered packages for FedEx. I'm a mega audible book reader (it's safer while driving). My personal library contains 314 books (I finished most of them), and back in ancient history, when men used tapes, cds, and mp3s, I listened to around 400 books (most from public libraries). I didn't start writing until I desperately needed a less physical hobby. Basketball betrayed me, and my 40 plus year old body could no longer play without pain. The loss of a de-stresser led to mild depression. I attempted many hobbies, but they only created frustration and more stress. In March of 2023, I found Reedsy. I recalled my college English Comp professor saying he thought I had potential for writing, so I entered a story, and have never looked back. Writing is an amazing de-streesser and psychologist. I've been able to deal with more than I'm willing to say. It's been a God-send. The mild depression disappeared, and I'm having fun (most days, but you know what I mean). The Reedsy community is tremendously encouraging and helpful. I know I have much to learn, and I'm grateful for how much I have learned. I plan on staying here, meeting weekly contest deadlines, reading other entries, and giving as much karma as possible. So, there you go, a serious bio. 🤣
