Good Morning All,
Last year I discovered I had a grown daughter that I never knew about. As you can imagine, it caught me totally off guard. The reason that I raise the issue this morning, is to give hope to fathers who have lost their children and to children who are in search of their parents.

It is great being an author but how many of you have taken on the role of speaker? I decided that if I am going to obtain more visibility then I had to do other things. One of them is becoming a speaker. Every year, The Villages, Florida sponsors a book festival. I volunteered to do a workshop. It went off very well and I ended up selling books. That was not my intent but that was the result.

The great thing about the World Wide Web is that it seems as if there is always something new and exciting going on. Although now, after much research, I realize blogging is nothing new to those surfing the web . . . it is to me. But it seems very much like an online diary where I can simply share the latest things that are going on in my life, so I thought I’d give it a try.
As of now I am anxiously awaiting my two preview copies of my first…
