I was born in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada long ago in the Hyborean Age.  Some years ago, much like the barbarian heroes of my favorite Sword & Sorcery stories, I moved south from my icy homeland to the ancient desert city of El Paso, Texas, where I now live with my wife, three sons and cat.  I work as a Librarian/Instructional Aide for a local school district.

I've loved books all my life. My mother taught me to read at the age of four and I've had a book in my hand in almost every spare minute since then.

I've been writing as a hobby for many years.
I enjoy historical fiction, westerns, war, heroic fantasy, crime fiction and horror.
