About Me

I'm a divorced man, age 51, living alone in Albion, Indiana.  Some of my hobbies include writing fiction; I have fifteen completed fiction novel manuscripts haunting my hard drive and four of those have been self-published by PublishAmerica and iUniverse.  I'm an enthusiast of classic cars in general, and post-WWII Ford Motor Company products in particular, and I like to cruise the garage sales and estate auctions to find inventory to resell on eBay.

Both my parents have passed away; Mom died on July 11, 1999 and Dad passed on January 22, 2009.  My brother Jim lives in Kendallville, Indiana and we know it's just him and me now.  I'm on good terms with my ex-wife Nancy.  Our divorce was bloodless and I'm thankful for that.  My daughter Jennifer is 25 years old and the mother of my three grandsons Corey, Juan and Jorge.  My son John III is 23 and has been reunited with me after an estragement of nearly four years.  I haven't had a woman in my life for nearly five years, but I'm okay with that.  Life for me is pretty good at the moment.
