I grew up in the military, living for two years in Japan, three years in Germany, and at various posts around the U.S. Although I've always wanted to write, I believe being exposed to various cultures has allowed me to develop an empathy with my characters. I have a multitude of various interests and do not write in any particular genre. Currently I have published historical novels, two police action thrillers, one mainstream fiction, and one non-fiction. I hope to have two more novels published within the next twelve months and intend to write until the pen is taken from my cold dead hand.

The Council for Wisconsin Writers Fiction of the Year, The Border Regional Library Association Award for enriching the cultural heritage of the Southwest and the Evelyn Oppenheimer "Oppie" for best historical novel of the year.
