I am a retired arbitrator/mediator. I am married to Suzie Shermer, my second wife. I am an advocate for the mentally ill, and serve as President of a home for recovering addicts and mental patients who are transitioning back into society. I have self-published two books, and my third one is due to be released in March, 2005. My first book was "Kentucky Bad Boy," and received 18 five star reviews. My second book was "Henry Rains, 1767-1838." My next book is short Appalachian folk tales and fiction called "The Shaman's Daughter."
