I am a novelist, poet and retired U.S. diplomat having served 27 years in the Foreign Service. I have been writing poetry and short stories for decades, and have published my poetry and fiction in over 25 literary journals. My poetry can best be described as “neo-beatnik" as growing up in Berkeley I was been heavily influenced by the beatnik writers. I have completed four SF novels, - Giant Nazi Spiders, the Great Divorce, Jurassic Cruise, and Ft. Ashland. I hope to have all four readied for possible publication within the next six months. I have completed ten volumes of poetry and one volume of short stories. During my foreign service career, I served in ten countries (Korea, Thailand, India, the Eastern Caribbean (lived in Barbados but covering Antigua, Barbados, Dominica, Grenada, St Kitts, St Lucia, and St Vincent) and Spain I grew up in Berkeley, California and have lived in Berkeley, Stockton, Seattle, Washington DC, San Antonio, Texas and Medford, Oregon, and have traveled to 49 states, and 45 foreign countries. I speak Korean, Thai, and Spanish. I am married with no children. I live half the year in Korea and half the year in the United States. the views expressed here are my own personal views and do not reflect the views of any of my prior employers. my web page is https://theworldaccordingtocosmos.com
