As a Psychologist and Writer, this website is for the purpose of informing and discussing things of interest to me and perhaps, to you. 


In that light, I was thinking about Billy Collins's book, The Trouble with Poetry. 

The poet wonders how the reader will feel in the beginning stanza as he takes to writing in the midst of morning while nothing much is happening, rain, goldfish, radio, friends, and a bowl of pears. 

He takes the mundane and creates it into something whimsical and interesting. His style is often quirky and always entertaining. His writing always makes me think.

I have written a memoir about my time in Vietnam as a young man and how it informed my life and my future. It is currenty being publlished and will be on sale at major retailers on September 5, 2023. The name of the book is The Silent Veteran: A Memoir.
