In short

  • Love to travel and love animals.

    My writing career began because of bad television.  If I had found something interesting to watch (such as Lost), then maybe I would have never started.

    The two novels I have posted were a mitigated success if judged solely by the fact that two small houses agreed to publish them.  Alas, the first one had no marketing budget and eventually went out of business and the second one filed for bankruptcy three weeks prior to the release of Jericho's Walls.  Lucky me.  Still, I persevere and that is why I am here.  Always looking to improve.

    Other than these two, I have had a number of short stories published as well as a number of travel articles.

    I am a little crazy because my favorite place in the world is a small remote camp in Katmai National Park.  Located in Alaska, it's one of the few places where you can get up close (within ten feet) of wild grizzly bears.  You see.......I truly am a little nuts, but at least I'm having fun.

  • I have a cousin named Robin (and that is no lie).
