he can’t differentiate
between hate and love
and seeks to expiate
with a fistful of roses
and a black dove

Michael Seese (75 Poems)I am a former journalist, but my current day job is in information security for a regional bank. Or, as my son could say even at age three, "Daddy keeps people's money safe."
I have published four books: The Secret World Of Gustave Eiffel, a historical fiction novel about the events surrounding the construction of the Eiffel Tower; Haunting Valley, a collection of fictional ghost stories centered around my home town; Scrappy Business Contingency Planning, which teaches corporate BCP professionals how to prepare for bad things; and Scrappy Information Security, which teaches us all how to keep the cyber-criminals away.
Other than that, I spend my spare time rasslin' with three young'uns.
