Hello from an aging hippie. I tell my children the Oldies are Originals w/ their mother and I. We spent our dating days on the beaches of So CA. Now, decades later, we find ourselves in the mid west, enjoying the snow. I desire to find sites to write on line for fun and profit. I look forward to getting to know some of you. GOD Bless!

Thank you Lynn:
Karen and I have been married 37 years, 3 children, 3 grandchildren. Grandchildren are a kick in the pants. Love it. Karen is now suffering from a rare brain disease, so we limit our life to her abilities.
I hope to write a more realistic form of Christian lit. Too much of it lacks the gritty realism of life for the greater numbers of our population. I am a Vietnam combat vet, been a police officer, substitute teacher, minister & youth minister and now am an investigator of child abuse and neglect reports. I work in the societal sewers and ponder how to bring JESUS' love into such stinking families.
My life motto has become: To Rescue -- To Protect.
I have almost finished my Vietnam memories. I have a fiction book started about child abuse. I have a couple other fantasy stories started. I have written one child's book for my grandchildren I would like critiqued.
Let me know a little about yourself [and any others who would respond]

Welcome Traveler! You will find this to be a very supportive group. Your wrok must be quite draining at times and would be discouraging without the Lord. May God bless you in your writing and all other areas of your life.
