Biographical Notes
After i finished law school, i returned to my hometown of El Paso and passed the Texas bar exam after which i proceeded to write three novels. I later worked for a year in the successful election of a Texas state representative to the U.S. House. In 1983, i got around to practicing law with an emphasis on consumer law. Soon after that, i got elected as a judge. I thoroughly enjoyed being a judge for 16 years, but when i got the chance to receive a decent retirement from the state of Texas, i took it so that i could return to full-time writing.
After my freshman year in college, i always planned to write about philosophy and criticism of religion even though i have always known i am no natural-born writer. I am now near completion of the first draft of the first of series of books i am planning that set forth a metaphysical system. The book tries to promote the idea that the universe is only a monistic materialistic system; there are no disembodied spirits.
I remember when i was student wanting to do great things and perhaps become famous. It doesn't look like i will get there. In retirement, i don't feel much pressure. I easily get distracted joking around with my wife, being a pet servant (two cats), doing chores, running, walking to the store, and just enjoying the light of another day. I should work harder. What is wrong with me?
