Introduction: Writing, editing, speaking. I have published several books professionally, write a weekly blog and do a weekly podcast. Over forty years of teaching experience, 25 in a university. I have edited books for other writers and also have my own publishing company. Although officially retired, I am eager to do more professionally and continue to make a contribution. I am a volunteer teacher of English as a second language for the Jacksonville library and also read the newspaper for the print impaired for the local NPR station. I am of a generation with an excellent work ethic and manifest that ethic in all I do.
