      I’m a retired physician and love to write fiction and poetry. I’ve published a couple books with Alba Books, Staten Island, New York. the titles are The Marijuana Maze and The Secret Scandal, Wife Battering. In addition, I’ve published through Amazon, The Starting Five, this year.
      I teach creative writing at a local university, read and write daily. I’ll submit a couple of my short stories. Thanks,
      Dr. Harold Pascal.
