Award-winning author of the Liam Sol surf noir mysteries. Old, introverted, frustratingly human, and somehow--perhaps foolishly--an optimist at heart. You can find my books here: https://www.amazon.com/Never-Ending-Swell-Liam-Sol-Mystery/dp/0986420638

Writers, stop showing up to meetings as Generic Professional #47. You're a storyteller - apply those same skills to your own experience. Mine your life for moments of insight, craft them like scenes, and be ready to share what makes you... you.
