Born in the Great American West, grandparents were proud farmers/ranchers on the Colorado plains. Have been very influenced by my natural surroundings. Lover of good writing, those who take risks with their musings, horses, dogs, Great American West, Paris, Southern France, Ireland, Chicago, Second City Improv, beautiful women and baseball without steroids. Writer of many short stories and a few novels. Have an agent who will soon spring forth my writing onto the world (hopefully soon). Shoot a lot (photos not animals); edit more. I am relentless. Love good coffee (go Conscious Cup in Crystal Lake, IL). Anything else you need to know? Copperwrite@gmail.com
