Writer,
OTR trucker, Humanist with attitude. |

As
a truck-driving,
diploma-free,
card-carrying member of the working class, I can
honestly say, to quote
Penn
Jillette: "Computers kick ass!"
When
I discovered the PC
I found I
could
do some magazine work and still drive. With my laptop riding
along with
me I could spell, make corrections without an eraser, chew gum, and
know
what side of the interstate I was on, all at the same time! |
| Lately
I have been dividing my off-duty
time between typing years of handwritten MSS to disk from cartons of
notebooks
filled
on the road, publishing a monthly column–"Don't Ask
Us"–and writing articles published by Target Media Partners
in their popular magazines. The transcribing from notes includes two
mainstream novels, two thrillers, and a new
mystery/trucker-P.I.
series based on the "Axel McKay" radio plays I wrote
in 1994/5,
produced
by Ralph
Haynes, and aired
coast-to-coast
on the WLAC Nashville Network. I don't have the time or patience for marketing, and need a publisher for the novels and other work.
