Having labored as a self-employed business owner and, for awhile, an employee and a manager in a Lake Tahoe casino, his working life has kept his literary endeavors to a minimum. He currently owns a business (Puzzle Junction.com) with his wife, Kathi, whereby they construct and supply crosswords and other word and number puzzles to clients all across the US and around the world in countries such as Canada, India, England, the Cayman Islands, and elsewhere. Their puzzles appear in some in-flight magazines as well as numerous student publications for colleges and universities.The Hot Client was originally written over 30 years ago under a different title and re-written last year for publication. As of this date (2020-2021) Stan has a sequel in the works for The Hot Client as well as six other projects that have been taking up space on his computer for some time. Hopefully, these will also make it to publication in the near future.view less
