After 40 years as a Commercial Real Property and Corporate Lawyer, I have retired to my first love, writing and telling short stories.Literature was never far from my mind as I practiced law. I completed a Masters in English in 2007, my thesis written on the remarkable similarities between the work of the Dane Soren Kierkegaard and the French novelist Francois Mauriac. In 2022, I finished a second Masters, this time in Creative Writing and Publishing, with the Masters Project being the opening chapters of a 'real-ish' non-fiction memoir, built on individual short stories.
