About
(Rated 'PG') Josh Brantley is a successful writer with very few friends and no social life -- a.k.a., NO girl to call his own. He is lonely but doesn't realize it, and it's making him restless. On impulse, he decides to take a long break from the drudgery of everyday life -- a vacation of sorts, which translates into a long drive to a forest in driving distance. Arriving at the woods he goes on a short hike, has a fall and loses consciousness. What follows may be real or may be imagined -- including three intelligent hummingbirds, a lost cabin, and the most beautiful and strangely innocent girl he has ever seen! Will he ever be able to go back to his normal life? 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.
