Born in Long Island, New York, have lived in New Jersey, Connecticut, Arizona, California, and Oklahoma. Lived three years in Italy and Germany while in USAF.(Air Police: K-9 section). Now live in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Married after whirlwind romance to same wife for over 30 years. Currently run my own real estate school in Oklahoma. Like to study foreign languages for a few months just to see how they work. Also like Latin and giving speeches. I’ve taught Philosophy, Advertising, Property Management, and many real estate subjects at the University, Community College, and Technical School level. Now writing non-fiction book on the Romance genre. I was trained to be a philosopher and history teacher but have worked mostly in advertising, marketing, and real estate.
This is so true! I've always thought that as an author you only control half of the reading experience. The reader is going to filter your story through their own belief systems, assumptions, and life experiences.
Thanks for stopping by. A professor once said that anything can be read as literature. He even mentioned a train schedule read as a commentary on the complexities of post modern life. It’s also like a live symphony…a lot depends on what the listener brings to the performance. Vince
