My childhood in south Mississippi steeped me in the appreciation of rivers and woods, the appreciation of fascinating people, and the belief that I had to engineer the life I wanted. I've taught English, floated to NJ on an AT&T relocation, helped establish a technology consulting company where I became CEO, and even sold real estate in the Dominican Republic where my wife and I filmed 5 HGTV international lifestyle episodes. These days, this new novelist gig reminds me how infinite the possibilities of life remain when a person takes the time to look. Live life, it's free. Arthur
