About the Author
Born and raised in the rolling hills of south-west Ohio he learned to respect and love nature at an early age through long walks in the fields and woods near his home. Forests, mountains, the sea and the sky and especially the stars captivated him and drew him to books where he could learn more about them and when he discovered science fiction and fantasy stories from the likes of Tolkien, Robert Heinlien, Piers Anthony and Marion Zimmer Bradley he was hooked. Living on the gulf coast of Florida now he spends his spare time writing stories of drama and high adventure mingled with a bit of romance and sprinkled with just a dash of humor. He loves movies and music with a special fondness for jazz and classical music from the romantic period and often incorporates some of these elements in his stories.
