A second act — putting creative ideas on paper
About
The Second Act
After a fulfilling career in engineering and sales, I discovered a new calling — putting creative ideas on paper. Writing became my second act, a way to channel decades of experience, observation, and imagination into stories worth telling.
Blue Jay Writings is where those stories live. It's my stake in the ground on the World Wide Web — a place to showcase my writing and share the projects I'm working on with anyone willing to read along.
I am an author. My business is simply putting my creative ideas on paper and hoping that many will enjoy those words.
