My Life

Dick Carmel is a lifelong Chicagoan who has counseled all his life - as a practicing lawyer, business consultant and personal adviser. With those interests, and that background, how could he not be eager to write? His fiction includes a novel, Though We Have No Merits, a recent collection, Short Stories of Love and Loss, and a new short story, The Child Who Returned to Her Mother.
