Bio:	Dog training puts food on the table, and tnbw keeps me off the streets at night. I started writing twenty-five years ago, and self-published two dog training books, but I didn't get hooked on writing until I wrote a memoir titled A Gypsy Among Gypsies. My intention had been to write a few anecdotes about my travels in the late '60s, and give them to my kids and grandkids; but the story took on a life of its own.
