Always a reader, I inhaled books during my days of extensive world travel. Before the Nook and Kindle, even before laptops became the norm, I would pack six or eight paperbacks for an extended trip. I think the desire to write has always been in me. The first step is the hardest part of the journey. Since I took that step, I haven't looked back. In my journey, I have met many authors whose support and friendship have taken some of the twists and turns out of the road. I have been married 33 years. My wife and I have two beautiful daughters, Katie and Maddie. Besides writing, I love to cook, travel, drive my Corvette. I have a dog and two cats...and a rat named Arlo.
