Non-fiction

In addition to writing bridge books and columns, I have started a project to collect and distribute ideas about life's learnings. I also write a blog on financial matters called My Two Cents (Before Inflation) and contribute to a Writers Who Kill, a blog on writing.

For a while I was presenting homilies for church services. A few were specific to a time or place, but most involve themes that persist. I've since moved away from the congregation that needed those services, so for now this is a mostly static area.
