About the Author

After a long career as a graphic artist and one-of-a-kind jewelry designer, I’ve now decided to channel my creative effort into writing fiction. My early working life had not always afforded me the luxury of working in creative fields. Taking jobs that were available to me (including various types of maintenance, auto mechanic, ranch foreman, and U.S. Census worker), provided a rich backdrop of characters and places for my writing, I didn’t realize at the time that those people and events were living research.
