Readers:
To all who find themselves here, just a few words about why
I’m doing this — allowing my work to be distributed/read
freely.

I’ve been writing for over twenty years, and have had some of
my work published — mostly non-fiction and short
stories/poetry. However, increasingly it seemed impossible to
find a print publisher, and the epublishers offerings languish
unread. Most important of all to me is that my work be read.
Therefore, I am distributing it via the world wide web. Etext
is a free, easy way to distribute.

You will find mysteries, suspense, romance, a variety of novels
here, as well as non-fiction essays and articles, and poetry.
I experimented in several genres, so you may find something
suited to your reading tastes. Explore my work, and see if
anything attracts your attention.

Some of the first files I placed here do have line breaks,
which make it easier to read online. The later work may not be
broken into on-screen lines, but you should have no trouble
downloading the entire novel manuscripts and then either
copy/pasting into the Microsoft Wordpad reader or
converting it into Palm Pilot files or Rocket ebook. The latter
two formats do have free programs on the net to download and
use for converting plain text into compatible files. Or you may
wish to print out the material, and read it at your leisure. 

As for copyright, I would like to retain my original copyright,
but obviously do not prohibit re-distribution so long as the
work remains AS IS.

If you wish to comment on any of my work, I’m 
always appreciative of reader feedback.

ENJOY!
