b'After a twenty-year diverse, engaging, career in the field of Telecommunications the time had come for change. This exciting and challenging career provided financial security as the ability to employ a unique genre of creative writing. As fulfilling and stimulating utilizing these tools, my dream of writing novels was not realized.\\n\\nFour years ago a long-time friend suggested I return to writing novels. I had not written a novel in many years (that body of work, waits in my desk drawer for renewed attention). The following day I was in front of my computer. The first novel in the series took flight. The innate passion of my life was reborn. It was my plan to write one thought-provoking novel until the same friend suggested a second novel. Now there are five in this series. The sixth and final of the series is in its first draft form.\\n\\nI have four lovely dogs that sleep or play in my office as I work. Two of these little beasts are Yorkshire Terriers, Sammy and Chloe the other two, miniature dachshunds, Barney III (long story) and Cecil. There are two beautiful young men who rush into my office from time to time, my sons.\\n\\nThe additional passions of my life is working out each morning, meditating each afternoon and the gift of laughter. All of which are necessary when I sit in front of the computer and create \\u201cPolitical Thrillers\\u201d. I neglected to mention my manic consumption of six to eight bottles of spring water daily.\\n\\nThank you for exploring \\u201cThe Lighthouse Keeper Series\\u201d. It is true, \\u201cNothing in this world ever happens by mistake\\u201d, and when it happens it is always for our benefit.\\n\\nhttp://www.teriraes.com/'
