This is where I try convening you that I'm normal by giving you tidbits of my life. Of course normal is subjective for each of us. We all have secrets — eye raising moments if shared.

I'm the youngest of five boys and grew up in Michigan. I was loved and protected by everyone around me. I played sports (not very well), was in a couple of plays, and was in the Boy Scouts (Eagle Scout at 14 years).

I joined the navy upon graduating from high school and began the adventure. Between 1972 and now I've traveled to over thirty countries and lived in Virginia, Guantanamo Bay (Cuba), Florida, South Carolina, Texas now Tennessee.

I began writing while living in Houston, when Gifted Trust was published. This was followed with some short stories and my novella, Monkey Love.

I now live in the Nashville area near my fiancé and with Tom, a cockersomething who likes to stay close to me whenever I'm home.
