Hi! I’m Rawge! I live with my wife, Rhonda, in a rural area outside Sacramento CA, but I'm a native son of California's San Joaquin Valley. I was raised on a ranch and later worked in California's oil fields. In my mid-twenties, I moved to N. Calif to attend the University of Calif, Davis. For the past 34 years, I've worked as a professional wildlife biologist. I took creative writing classes in community college and had always planned to write a book of the twists and turns in my life. The book (and many other things) was put into the file that we all have - you know, that thick file labeled "someday". Early in the Pandemic, I ended up in a hospital for a month and on a ventilator. The prognosis was grim.I guess being separated and quarantined from your loved ones and having a fat tube down your throat can change you! All the dreams I’d been saving for “someday” suddenly became urgent. I realized I came within a few heartbeats of running out of “somedays.”So, I’m no longer waiting for “someday.”I hug.I say I love you. I wrote a book!I hope you enjoy it.
