I, Joseph Amley (that’s me in the picture), was raised and educated in Oscoda, a small town in the northern part of Michigan’s mitten. Following far too much higher education, I served mankind as a graduate instructor of anatomy at Univ. of Mich. medical school, a respiratory therapist, a prison chaplain, a medical salesman, and finally the director of research and development for a major medical manufacturer. I have managed to hang on and ride this good earth around the sun seventy-four times without falling off.

I am building this site to provide a place to park my writing while it awaits a more profitable location, hopefully, a publisher’s inbox. Since I also serve as a writing coach, the site provides a nest for the work of others as well.

Readers and writers alike are welcome and encouraged to download and enjoy the posted titles.
