Author Bio:
I am a husband, writer, and owner of a 120lb female Mastador.( It’s a cross between a Mastiff and a Labrador.). I enjoy staying fit, and hiking( yes in the Adirondacks of course!)
I treasure my friends and we go out every week for beers and Good conversation. Politics, faith, doomsday scenarios, Alternate history and the many uses Dr. Waatt can find for Thermite are just a few of our heady intellectual topics we routinely cover.
I am a bit of a gamer and honed my character development and dialogue skills by playing a major character for several years on a Text Only based MUD. Hopefully in the future I can bring that wonderfully complex and conflicted character to you all, as I have a Fantasy WIP tentatively titled HOLY GROUND with her( she is an Elven war weary Warrior Cleric of the Divine Light) as the main character.
When I can gather my friends together I enjoy playing Co-op board games like Pandemic, Forbidden Island, etc and of course reading and writing.
I have a day job where for the last 20 years, I assist disabled adults in an Apartment setting. It is very rewarding and I’ve made many wonderful relationships with co-workers and consumers.
My dream is to be a successful, full time writer, to regale you my readers, with tales, stories and fables, that you enjoy immensely, that enhance your day and hopefully your life.
My father instilled in me a love for the Action and Adventure Genre and that is what I enjoy reading and writing, though it can cross many genres besides Steampunk
Whatever I write, I hope you enjoy it. My fans( if I am lucky enough to earn some) are what keep me writing.
God Bless.
