I'm a retired occupational medicine physician. The Erebus Tales series - Stone Fever https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2..., The Color of Greed https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3..., and Gifts of a Dark God (in press) - are my first published fiction, and sprang from a lifetime of travel and immersion in many different cultures. I've traveled to six continents, and lived in Germany and Spain for a year. I earned a Public Health degree, and used it to help improve medical care in Dmitrov, Russia. I play concertina and accordion at traditional music sessions. I've climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro and trekked to Everest base camp and the Camino de Santiago. My wife and I have been active in our co-housing community in Lawrence KS. We have three children and five grandchildren, all avid readers.
