Clones of Then & Now

I grew up in a small surf town on California's central coast in the 1970s. Life back then was carefree and simple. My days were spent skateboarding on cracked sidewalks, riding motorcycles down dirt trails, and, of course, trying (not always successfully) to catch the attention of local girls. School wasn't really my strong suit-I did just enough to get by. Instead, I discovered my path working with my hands, becoming a woodworker by trade.Writing came into my life much later. It wasn't something I ever imagined I'd pursue, but it became a powerful outlet for exploring the ideas and questions that have intrigued me for years. Now, it feels like a natural extension of who I am a way to combine creativity and curiosity to tell stories that challenge and entertain.
