In
addition to the
practice of medicine as an ear, nose
and throat specialist, my past includes a stint overseas in the US Air
Force, several periods as an interim music minister, and an
all-too-brief experience as a semi-pro baseball player. Not too
many years ago, I retired after a quarter of a century as a private
practitioner and a decade as a professor at the University of Texas
Southwestern Medical Center.
During
my medical career, I had the privilege of having over 100 medical papers
published, as well as co-authoring or editing eight medical textbooks.
But I had no idea that my writing would continue after retirement.
After
the death of my first wife in 1999, I began writing about my journey through
grief. This evolved into a book, The Tender Scar: Life After The Death
Of A Spouse, which was released in March, 2006 by Kregel Publishers.

Along the
road, a number of Christian authors and editors influenced and encouraged
me, and I turned my hand to writing Christian Fiction. I've completed
two novels, both of which are under consideration for publication, and am
working on a third. I've written a number of short
non-fiction pieces, and have been fortunate enough to be published in Upper
Room.
Yes,
I thought I was retiring in 2000. Instead, I've just shifted gears.
This web site is an extension of my writing, and I hope you find the material in
it worth reading. Meanwhile, I can hardly wait to see what God has in
store for me in the future.
