I live in northeast Ohio where I write sci-fi, fantasy, and suspense novels, along with a few short stories. Mostly I write stories I think I'd like to read with characters that are interesting enough that readers want to find out what happens to them. I also spend time building a Japanese strolling garden in the back yard, and taking walks in the woods. I have seven novels in print, the most recent being "Key to Tirumfall," a collection of short stories, and a co-authored children’s book. A sequel to "Shepherds" should be released later in 2021.
