Welcome to My Blog

Since life is dynamic, I’ve decided, at least for the time being, to forgo a website and focus on my blog. I can provide all of the more static information that readers and followers expect, or may be interested in, including book blurbs and links, a little bit about me, and a way to connect.

I started out writing nonfiction, but my passion for adventure, stories of survival against the odds, and speculating about the future of humanity and our planet, soon turned my attention towards fiction. I have published eleven novels (eight still in print), over eighty travel and human-interest articles, and contributed to a travel story anthology. I write action, adventure, suspense, and dystopian, all with a little bit of love and romance, for young adult, new adult, or anyone who just likes clean, riveting fiction.

May 2023 Newsletter – Is it Spring Yet?

Image
This has been one of the coldest, snowiest Wyoming winters that I can remember. As May nears and with very few temperatures getting out of the forties, I lost my patience and decided I needed to be warm for a few days and headed to Tucson, Arizona for a long weekend. The sunshine was awesome, the sites were fantastic, and I feel rejuvenated! Hopefully, spring temperatures will finally reach us in May.
