Door open...proceed with purpose!

I plan to post samples of my writing. You will find them to be diverse in style and form and they span a lifetime of my creation. I also want to share stories with you about the people and experiences that went in to writing them.

My first entry is the foreword to my recently completed novel, "Cowboy in the City." I became an EMT-Basic in 1992 and started working for a small local ambulance company. The hours were long and tiring, the pay sucked and nobody ever appreciated a thing you did for them and yet I have never had a better job-ever!The best part is I wasn't alone. I found an entire culture of workers who shared this upside down version of the world and excelled in managing its tragedies and storylines. I made friends with some of the most complete human beings you'll ever meet and I am honored to be able to tell their stories to you.

"Cowboy in the City" is currently unpublished. I am early in the process of finding a publishing agent. Similar to when I first climbed into an ambulance equipped with training but zero experience, I find myself at the foot of a tall mountain. I would appreciate any guidance or information you feel comfortable sharing with me about the process.
