A post modern Existentialist with Objectivist leanings, fighting to catch up with his art after serving time as a capitalist oppressor of the people.
--
Doug Barone retired from corporate life after 20 years in the Finance Industry and is fooling everyone into thinking he is a writer. Having been a Corporate Strategist, Finance Executive, and IT Executive he has found almost nothing of use to him from those years except the zany people and crazy stories that no one in their right mind could have ever dreamt up. He uses these real life experiences in his work and this separates him from other writers who never really worked a day in their lives either. He writes about the primacy of the individual, the oppression of institutions, and the ability of real heroes to exist. As such he fully expects to be pilloried by the academic left and the religious right, and looks forward to every lashing.
