Author bio

Okay, a serious bio is long overdue. I'm a FedEx courier with over 20 years of experience. While driving I've consumed tons of audible books (it's safer than reading). My personal library contains 314 books, and I finished most of them. Back in ancient history, when men used tapes, cds, and mp3s, I listened to around 400 books mostly from public libraries. I didn't start writing until I desperately needed a less physical hobby. Basketball betrayed me, (or my body betrayed basketball 🤨) and my 40 plus year old frame 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 professor saying I had potential for writing, so I entered a story, and never looked back. Writing is an amazing de-stresser and psychologist. Its helped me work through trauma and mid-life crisis. 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. 🤣
