Biography
I have been married since 1995 and have 8-year-old twins (a boy and a girl). We are all very active having completed our first marathons in 2010 at the North Olympic Discovery Marathon in Port Angeles, WA. We love to travel, visit with friends, and sometimes just lay around being lazy.
As long as I can remember, I've had ideas for books. I wrote my first book several years ago, but never finished editing it. I wrote it for me and still have little desire to share it. Last year, however, I was struck with an idea for a book dealing with Sigmund Freud and one of his first patients, Ida Bauer. I was able to convince my wife to travel with me to Vienna November 2009, and the journey began. I recently completed the book and have begun the editing process. It has been such an interesting and rewarding journey, I am now beginning to research and outline my next two novels.
