After family, Sage the dog, and biking, writing is my joy.

(More at www.AndeanWhite.com)

My career as a small business owner was cut short by Parkinson's Disease. After the decision to sell the business was made, it became apparent that few of the buyers knew how to develop a business plan. Writing an e-book on "How to Purchase a Small Business" seemed so logical. It was a good guide with lists of questions and a sample business plan. But marketing it became another matter.

A new hobby of writing travel journals, sprinkled with a little encouragement from family and friends, sparked a desire to test my writing skills, and decided it was time for that dream job--coffee on the deck, smokin' keyboard, e-books zooming through the Internet, and dollars collecting in the bank account.

Early spy short stories were posted on free e-book sites and developed a small following, which I thought was large enough to attempt a book. That second book was disappointing, but the experience was invaluable. And, I knew I wanted to write.

I fell back on my small business experience, and surrounded myself with the best people.

Two years later, an aspiring writer, telling stories that hopefully guide a reader's imagination to a world of excitement, and provide a brief rest from the everyday duties. I discovered that true writing was hard work, and quality required a lot of detail awareness. Maybe, there was still a chance of coffee on the deck...someday.

As a young boy at family gatherings, I recall listening to the men after a meal. The opinions around the subjects of politics, car brands, hippies, and rock n roll filled the room with energy like aromatic smoke from a pipe. But, when the story telling began everyone found a seat or patch of floor. We sat for hours laughing and gasping at the stories, fact or fiction--they shaped who we became and it strengthened our imaginations. Fifty years later, it's clear a world without imagination would be pretty boring.

Marrying my high school sweetheart was my most brilliant accomplishment. We enjoy sporting events, backyard barbeques, outdoors, concerts, and travel with our friends.
