Four decades later I had retired young. I was watching TV, again, and my wife turned to me.

“Instead of just doing nothing, why don’t you write your memoir or something?”

After a few weeks I began. Two years later I self-published Episodes A poetic memoir. Along the way I formed ABLiA Media LLC to publish my books. I expanded into helping others edit, format, polish, and publish their works whether prose or poetry, or whatever genre it might be.

So glad I did. Thank you Janet.
