After a busy life, sharing with my wife, Rina, in the raising of our 4 children, running my business life to support my family and heavily committed to my voluntary work in the community, the time came when I reached retirement age and decided to close my business.

Following the busy day to day activity, I needed to fill my days in a way which would give me satisfaction. That is when I began teaching English and found that I loved it and I continue it to this day. When I introduced creative writing to my more advanced students, I felt that I had to lead by example and my consequent literary efforts were well received, so much so that my students persistently and flatteringly pressed me to publish.

I eventually succumbed to their pressure with the publication of three books:

                                     - Robert the robot stories

                                     - The House in the Wood

                                     - A Shot in the Dark

And have two more books awaiting publication, as well as another nearing completion.
