NAIWE

My professional background includes many years as a banker with a major international bank. At different times, I ran its banking operations for greater San Diego and its Private Banking operations for North America. Subsequently, I became a real estate broker in California's Monterey Peninsula and specialized in real estate sales within the prestigious communities of Carmel-by-the-Sea and Pebble Beach. In business, I have long been an admirer of the written word, having seen how even a modest change in syntax or word usage can compel the reader into action, turn the tide in an argument, sell the seemingly unsellable. My fondest wish is to write fiction with as much sensitivity to the use of each word as I have always found persuasive in a challenging business world. R. Scott Franklin Author, Clarity is Dying
