Urell Odama

Retired.  "Wanna be" writer.  Writes only for pleasure as well as for mental exercise to combat 'senior moments.'  Publishing is not my goal; but, why not... if...

I have lived in Hawaii (Aiea), California (San Francisco, Daly City, Union City), Arizona (Gilbert, Mesa, Tempe, East Mesa). 

Originally from Bangar, La Union, Philippines.  My name is Leo Blanco.  Urell Odama is my pseudonym.

Happily married to Luxmie Amal Blanco from Antipolo, Rizal, Philippines. 

I used to blog (with a B) when blogging was fairly new.  That's when 'Urell' was born.  

"The Shepherd Boy With A Drum" is my first (ever) short story.  It will become the prologue of my next story tentatively titled "The Drum Of The Shepherd Boy."  It is getting long.

Thanks for reading about me.
