Getting great reviews.

Ad agency executive divorces the boss’s daughter, loses his job, goes home to the sea island where he was raised. He plans to sail off to see the world but his elderly mother is losing her eyesight and the generations-old estate needs major repairs. Birdwatching, a family interest going back to the days of Audobon, guides him back to his roots. Southern traditions, Gullah culture, and oddball island ways make this one right for birdwatchers, beach, and boat people.

Bad things happened, an entire run of them that shut me down, caused me to withdraw from everything except my inner self.

One afternoon, in a hammock, I took a photo of myself. Just my legs. But there was no one to send it to. No one to understand.

I needed a sidekick so I sketched an armadillo because they’re crusty on the outside but not within. I made him my butler. Crusoe’s manservant Friday.

We began interacting—my hammock photo speaking to that critter, that critter speaking back.There’s a folder of cartoons somewhere. For now there’s just this one. (LINK)

Eventually after that I began writing novels.

I’m still a hermit, marooned you might say, but leaving my shell more and more—my inner self seeking its freedom through writing.
