Retired professor of mathematics from SJSU. I love puzzles, imagining, and laughing. I hate marketing, but bit my tongue and did a modest amount but didn't sell a modest amount. Covid came, DJ6T was elected, and I dropped out of writing and focused on Monster Sudokus and other weekly puzzles. Now I'm back, determined to write that third book of a promised trilogy. However, it also reflects my first book set in the Midwest, which was more popular than my books about tetrapeds, a sentient intelligent society dwelling under the sea floor. Because I felt for the integrity of the book, I needed to make up words for measurements (obviously not in inches and feet nor minutes and hours, etc.) Morning, noon, and night reflects the time it takes Earth to revolve around the sun. No sun under the sea floor. While I provided a glossary named Tetraped Speak, many readers were put off. The third in the trilogy that I'm about to publish is more from the human POV when they meet tetrapeds.
