My writing career began when I was five years old!
I was watching "Superman" with George Reeves on the 13" black and white TV in the living room of our two family walkup in Paterson N.J. -- I thought it was terrific that Clark Kent worked for a newspaper.
That's what I wanted to be when I grew up!
I wrote a short story about a reporter and a lady scientist who battled an invasion of dinosaurs from outspace. My blue collar Dad thought I was crazy!
