Author
"I had lots of imaginary friends when I was five years old, and I guess you could say some of those friends never left me. In fact along the way, I picked up some more imgainary friends who have had lots to say.
I love watching stories unfold. And some of those stories seem worth sharing with you.
So, I have written a few books. And have several more in the works.
Meanwhile, some of my books have won some awards. And even more importantly, my books have made friends with some wonderful and supportive readers. I absolutely love it when a reader connects with one of my stories.
I love the art of fiction. It is a powerful form of communication. Through stories we can engage in perspectives different than our own, we can explore the challenges and joys of relationships, and we can discover important truths about human nature. All while hopefully being entertained through captivigating characters, clever dialogue, and well-paced plots.
Besides my love of stories, I also love this amazing world. I love learning. I love the extraordinary people in my life who have richly made life worth living."
