I’ve been publishing highly-rated novels of fantasy, speculative fiction, and satire since 2010.

Journalist

A degree in Journalism from Indiana University and publication in three Midwestern newspapers, including the Louisville Courier-Journal and the Bloomington Herald-Telephone.

Army officer

Served as an Armor officer in the US Army. That is, led M1 tanks as part of the 8th Infantry Division’s 1/68 Armor and the 4th Infantry Division/11th Armored Cavalry covering force on the East-West frontier of Cold War Germany in the 1980s. Executive officer of an M1 tank company in 3/63 Armor, Germany.

Artist

Art history student, commercial artist, and art teacher of almost thirty years. I designed and executed all my book covers.

Family Man

Married over thirty-five years to the most awe-inspiring woman on Earth. Two wonderful boys. Allowed to exist in the same house with two cats, Buffy the Cat Toy Slayer, and the Great and Powerful Oz. Still pining for my rescue Greyhound Petra, off in the Elysian Fields of Chasing Rabbits and Rolling in Grass.

I use all of this background in the stories I create to ensure the most authentic, immersive , and exciting experience for my readers.
