I never set out to become an author. At 59, I wrote my first book, and today at 64, I continue writing self-help, nonfiction books. My path to writing was shaped not by formal training, but by real-world experience—lessons learned through both struggles and successes in work, life, and society. Over the years I’ve seen how persistence, common sense, and practical wisdom can transform challenges into growth. Along the way, my books have become award-winning best-sellers—something I never anticipated, but that reflects how these ideas resonate with others. My writing is simply an extension of that path: a way to share what I’ve learned, in hopes of guiding, inspiring, and supporting others as they navigate their own paths forward.
