PUBLISHING HISTORY
Since finishing my publishing career and spending over thirty wonderful years managing my own publishing company, working with over fifty delightful authors, publishing over 130 titles, and selling gads of books every year, I have fully committed myself to writing in Tucson where I moved in 2015.

Let’s call Dollartorium a sneak peek into late-stage capitalism. Full of humor and satire, Dollartorium looks at the worst aspects of contemporary business culture, including marketing/advertising, value in money, hiring/firing, the entrepreneur, etc. But in the end the Dollartorium promises hope in the dignity of honest work and a healthy place in the community of others.
