A silver lining - my writings began in the fall of, 2008, when the financial foundation of our country hung precariously by a thread. Taking a break from the bad news, I attended a book signing, by Randy Wayne White, an author who has taken up Florida adventure writing where the late John D. MacDonald, left off. He told me, ‘Writing is an adventure, sit down and try it, you will surprise yourself.’
