I started writing in my forties, begining with "When You Catch a Butterfly...", after having spent my entire career as a machine design engineer. I began to seek the help of my co-author Sarah Hammond when she was only fifteen at the time that she might guide me with regard to the main character Molly who was fifteen in the begining of the story. I was so impressed with her creativeness, we have worked together ever since. Ultimately, I hope to be able to write for a living.view less
