Welcome
Once upon a time, all my stories started with pictures that I drew or painted. When I was seventeen. those pictures became a children’s story—a most primitive effort. Certainly not publishable. Still, it has many elements (a white dragon, children searching for a home, magic) that I returned to in later writings.
Biographical information
Born and raised in Pennsylvania, I have lived in eight different states including two years in Arizona on the Navajo Indian Reservation. In addition to a career as an academic librarian, I have been an Air Force officer, a professional photographer and a photo technician. I am amateur carpenter, architect, birder and sometime caver and mountaineer. In between all these jobs and activities, I have helped raise three children, learned to play the highland bagpipe and helped design and build my own passive-solar, off grid home in the Lehigh Valley of Pennsylvania.
