Well, let’s see. What can I write about myself?<\/p>\n

I’m an indie author living in Lake Havasu City, AZ. Yeah, I know. The Land of Eternal AC. But before you scorn my living arrangements let me say that 9 months of the year it’s GORGEOUS<\/em> here. \u00a0Of course, the other 3 are a wee bit unpleasant. Hey, what can I say? That’s my winter. \u00a0When it hits 120+, you just don’t go outside. And if you do, you dress accordingly.<\/p>\n

Interests… \u00a0If someone were to ask me what my interests would be, I’d have to say, in no particular order, that they would be: \u00a0astronomy (I have several sophisticated, computerized telescopes – I love it!), archaeology, archery, scuba diving, taekwando, collecting movies, collecting swords, and pretty much tinkering with any electronic gadget I can get my hands on.<\/p>\n

I have created three fantasy series, all of which are set in the same magical kingdom, Lentari.\u00a0 They are (in chronological order) Bakkian Chronicles<\/strong>, Tales of Lentari<\/strong>, and Pirates of Perz<\/strong>.\u00a0 I had originally planned on just writing the Bakkian Chronicles trilogy and then moving on to another subject, but due to numerous requests to keep the series alive, I then created Tales of Lentari<\/strong>, and finally the new Pirates of Perz<\/strong> trilogy. \u00a0They are stories that do not require the reader to read any of the previous titles in order to follow along. \u00a0It’s helpful, yes, but not required.<\/p>\n

I’m also the author of the cozy mystery series Corgi Case Files<\/strong>, which is currently four books strong, with a fifth already written and about to undergo editing.\u00a0 They’re about two inquisitive corgis \u2013 Sherlock and Watson \u2013 and their reluctant owner, Zack, who solve all manner of crimes in picturesque Pomme Valley in southwestern Oregon.

I’m also a member of the Science Fiction & Fantasy Marketing Podcasts. \u00a0We’ve released over 150 episodes that is available on iTunes. \u00a0Our trial runs were the episodes in which we interviewed each other. \u00a0In my interview I talk about how I got started, the inspiration for my books, what NOT to do when first starting out, and so on. \u00a0Take a look!<\/p>\n
