I have participated in over 15 writing workshops\, and writing groups in Central Texas\, to include the Harker Heights Library\, the VA Music Therapy/Writing Clinic\, and many others. Of these workshops and groups\, I have published works with the Re-Integration Project with VSA Texas\, Art Sprarks/Scriveners Circle\, and the Creative Arts Veteran’s Competition for which I have earned medals for my work. I have a published piece in the “The World of Poetry Anthology” called “Peace”. I am now hoping to pursue my MFA in Creative Writing in Fiction utilizing my GI-Bill from the Army in pursuit of writing the next Best Selling Novel\, All American Great Epic Novel\, Screen Play\, or Movie or anything. Perhaps\, I may teach writing at a college\, university\, online or just anywhere\, somewhere.” \nThomas Orlando\n“I have lead a life of what some might call ”adventure lite.” I am a veteran of both the Navy and Air Force\, during the Vietnam era\, but never saw battle. I attended Woodstock\, climbed Mount Fuji\, fought the bull in the ring in Spain\, [twice] have set foot in every US State\, and am an accomplished ballroom dancer. I am 72 years old and I’m just getting my second wind.”
