My passion for storytelling has always been strong, but it took a career of about twenty-five years of international civil service with the US Dept of Defense and the sale of several acres of land, to retire and write. Thanks to all my explorations, there's no lack of ideas. My stories take place in historic times to show some things never change. Mentors including Robert McKee encourage my pursuit to entertain an audience in a meaningful way, to help realize that every life experience is a gift to treasure.
