Politics didn't suit me, so I found other work as a janitor/housecleaner. During this time, I began to draw a panal cartoon, Jack The Ripple. It was published in several newspapers in Arizona and southern California.
The two together weren't enough to pay the bills, so I became an over-the-road trucker.While on the road, I wrote about my experiences. A how-to book about the cleaning industy was published on-line in 2003. Joe Driver's Trip, was an in-house instruction manual for driver trainees. I have several short stories published in magazines and collections like Scattered Hearts and Full Circle.
Death by Circumstance is a fictionalized account of my life as a trucker.view less
