I am a self-taught artist and 'indie' author. My literary playground is in the fantasy genre with novels set either in our world, twice involving the mythological gods, or in my invented world. These novels run the range between dramatic, to purely adventurous and even comical. I have published most of my novels via lulu.com, and I will likely keep some of them available there.
I was born in southern California, but have lived in New Mexico, Arizona, Alaska (twice), Maryland (and worked in DC), and finally moved back to New Mexico.
