I grew up spending my time on a very large wheat farm in the Kansas Prairie, or with my Grandmother in Topeka. Life was full with friends, school, success, and abuse. My father was a war vet. He returned from the war grappling with PTSD, and raised hell for our family. This ended badly! At age 17 I set out for California on my own, my life corrected and I found success in jobs and relationships. At the age of 24 I became a quadriplegic for 63 days, after breaking my neck in a car accident. By some miracle, my body recovered, and I walked away. I then moved to Santa Barbra where I started three businesses, Earned my living, purchased homes, cars, and and lived a life I feel proud to have experienced. I moved to Vermont for the allure of cleaner air, and a slower life style about thirty years later. I still visit my Santa Barbra home for three or four months every year to see old friends. I have managed, despite all, a 20 year loving life in a relationship. I have two Rhodesian ridge-back, girl dogs, and a fifty year old parrot that I hand raised from just a chick. I am a happy, healthy, productive human, living life exactly as I please and loving it!

About five years ago I decided to start writing books. I have now completed three books, two of which are published, one in the wings. I like to think of myself as an unconventional author. I like to break the norm. My writings range from Mysteries or True stories, to Comedies and even Children's books.
