Welcome

This is going to be my primary point of contact for those interested in following my varied creative endeavors.  If you wish to contact me you can do so through the "Musings" blog, which I will update and check as much as I can.  Or you can use the contact form below.  I will not publish any of my nude work to this site, there will be another one coming soon that will have some of my more sensitive work on it.  At that time this message will convey that information.

Although I hate publishing a site while it is in the construction phase, with Weebly I have little choice, being an online publishing system.  If you visit my site before it is completely ready I apologize for the mess.  Please bear with me.  I am, by the way, open to suggestion, and you can use the contact form below to give me one (or many)

     Many authors of the past and present have used Nom de Plumes for this very reason, to keep separate their various readerships.  Okay, it's common practice, so why do I hesitate?  MORE...
