Biography

Basically I'm an honest, fun-loving gay guy who lives each day for the pleasure of simply being alive. I don't expect too much so I'm not often disappointed. In addition to writing I paint. My canvases are very large (usually) and done in what I call my adventures in impressionistic abstraction. They're very colorful. Organic. I once worked as a landscape architect. But not anymore. I ride a bicycle or walk; I don't have a car. The damned thing was getting older and dirtier and one day it just stopped. I got $149 for it as salvage. I don't need a car. I'm healthier without one. Of course there's a lot more stuff I could say but I don't want to bore you. Or me.

Smashwords Interview

Where did you grow up, and how did this influence your writing?
I was born in the High Rocky Mountains in a little town called Idaho Springs. My father worked in a hard rock gold mine, the Lamartine. That didn't pan out (pun intended) so we moved to Kansas. That was okay but not good, so we moved to California. Of course I didn't have much say in all this because I was just a kid. Anyhow, California was great. Eventually we bought a small ranch north of Sacramento. So, yes, I'm basically a country boy, but not without a certain amount of sophistication I've acquired over the years. And, yes again, being a country boy (or man, now) has influenced my writing. A lot. As they say, you can take the boy out of the country but you can't take the country out of the boy. Or man.
When did you first start writing?
When I was nine.
