<p>Dennis Roth, The Thoughtful Writer©, retired young from his engineering business to sail the Caribbean. After five years, he buried the anchor and began watercolor painting.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, he stumbled into depression, the most difficult challenge of his life. He climbed out of that mental horror by writing short stories and poems, some as depressing as his mood, others as full of hope as a brand new baby.</p>
<p>Now his debut novel, <em>The Bastard’s Inheritance</em>, awaits publication. </p>
