I am a retired Dentist and enjoy writing as a hobby─I write for the creative FUN of writing. Other hobbies include playing the clarinet, Soprano sax and Bongos, oil painting, photography, and graphite drawing. Story ideas may occur to me spontaneously, or just by looking at a picture when it evokes a story line in my mind, and I use it as a 'seed' to grow the story.I'm a 'romantic' at heart. Love runs deep in me, and have published several romances as a result (and usually fall in LOVE with my female protagonist) mixed in with some adventure stories, and stories for Young Adults.I have done a few things in my life to include, Cubmaster, Scoutmaster, Mountain Rappelling Instructor, clinical lab tech, read books on Sci and romances, and hold a license as a Ham Radio operator---all of which I assume, add to the repository from which I draw some of my story ideas. I grew up reading Mad Magazine which, I’m sure, affected (distorted?) my sense of humor as well as my perspective on life. I enjoy humor, and like to laugh.I'm am most assuredly an untrained amateur but nevertheless have published five small books on Amazon and twelve on Smashbooks.com under the name of R.H. Proenza if for nothing else but my ego. I live in Georgia with my wife Sandy, a computer or two, and no pets.

He had grown up here, and the ocean was like his backyard. His full-body tan attested to his fondness to being more out in the sun rather than indoors.

The seashore offered many chances to explore the animals that inhabited the area. His favorites were the tiny baby crabs that he could never quite catch as they hurried down their secretive small holes in the sand. Hermit crabs were also fun to watch, but their claws looked a little more menacing than the baby ones that hid in the sand.

Part of his explorations always included shells. He was intrigued by the tiny ones for their details, especially the ones that spiraled. But a favorite seashell to find was the beautiful mother-of-pearl that caught the sun’s rays and glistened in a rainbow of colors. This mirrored layer was
