Writer, Reader, Thought Provoker
We Can’t Solve Problems With The Same Thinking That Created Them.
For my entire life I’ve been known as a problem solver, and have often been included on boards, hired as a consultant, or employed to turn around organizations. In that same vein, the thoughts and perspectives that you will see on this website, and often in my books, are unconventional and controversial. That is by intention, because we face many great challenges, some of them existential. We aren’t going to solve our challenges by doing things the same way we have been. Perhaps it is time to consider ideas we might find objectionable, but that could provide solutions.
I wanted to write great romances, with energy and adventure. I said from the start that if I could create characters that made readers fall in love, laugh, and cry, I would have done my job. Along the way, if we can do it without being weird or preachy, perhaps we can also think about the world we live in.
