Writing what you know is well-worn advice to aspiring writers. And the longer you live, the more material you have to work with. https://t.co/P8bB7mQ8FL

@cgsultan1 I retired from 35 years in government relations to write mysteries. A great outlet for a life of accumulated experience, if not wisdom.

I'm happy to claim a new occupation--novelist. The book is due out this fall. What a ride getting there! As always, it's the journey and not the destination that satisfies.

@paulgazelka Senator, I’m a proud American. Since 1634 members of my family My ancestors have contributed to our shared history—good and bad. From my father, a former GOP Speaker, I learned the power of respecting diverse opinions. Lt. Gov. Flanagan’s view deserves yours.
