About
When I retired, I wanted to write about my experiences. The problem was that I didn't know the first think about writing. I was capable when writing reports. I could wow you with my PowerPoint presentation, but writing a book was new. So, what could be so hard? I had spent many hours on airplanes reading a variety of books. I launched into my writing career. As this was my first book, I was willing to spend money to have my manuscript professionally edited. The result damaged my ego for some time. Everything was out of order. My paragraphing was pitiful. My character development was non-existent. Added to this was two pages of rules. Some of these I had never heard of. This was worse than an F grade on a term paper. It was no grade. The effort was rejected. I set about to rewrite the whole thing. Rules were followed. The story followed a time line. My characters became people. My story was placed in the time of Iraq, Saddam Hussein, and weapons of mass destruction (WMDs). I put together an ideal CIA team. First was the timeless professional. Add the technical cyber geek. Then came the all-American football player and last but not least you have the beautiful blonde. A spy thriller, a love story, and the sought after WMD makes for an exciting reading pleasure. Try it, you will like it.
