: About Me

I was born in Santa Rosa, California and grew up in the tumultuous sixties near San Francisco. After which I spent 10 years in the service and traveled the world. I saw the best and the worst in man's quest for life. I love to write, because I can create the worlds as I would have them, where the good guy always wins, and the bad guys are always caught and made to pay for their crimes! It is also a way to express to the world what I have seen and done throughout my life. I have always been a bit of a gypsy. I have lived in 3 countries and traveled to 24. And I have been to 46 states and lived in 10.

I have recently re-published my first book and I am preparing to publish a second in the Trilogy of Shennan series, The Empress of Magic. I have also completed a book of Poetry called Reflections in Words, and a cook book that has recipe's from all over the world. The Trilogy of Shennan is the history of an imaginary world where Dragons, Magic, and Wizards are real.

I am also writing 8 additional novels ranging from a;

Square Rigger in the 1800's, named Passion on the High Seas,

A Far Bridge and Beyond,the story of a Twain World Warrior that learns to fight the Nayafal in the Twain world.

Orion One, An Odyssey in Space,

Mikes book on block,

USCG Heroes One and All,

A Dark Day in the Son, and The Trilogy Shennan, The Source of Magic

Health & Fitness > Bipolar Disorder Bipolar disorder: Illness or excuse?

Bi-Polar personality disorder? Hmmmm, this is a real dilemma. Is it a true disease of the mind; rendering individuals helpless in their episodes of maniacal ranting, rude behavior, vicious acts of random violence, and or a myriad of other behavioral maladies. OR, is it an excuse that some people depend on to get away with this disgusting behavior. Think for a moment of the Dichotomy of good and evil within the human spirit. We have, in ALL of us the ability to be evil and we have within us the ability to be good. Those that control or ignore their urges to act in a manner contrary to the m...
