When you're not writing, how do you spend your time?
I read a lot. Genres of interest are westerns, both fiction and non-fiction (love western history), horror drama, horror sci fi, sci fi in general, fantasy, sword and sorcery, adventure (especially dealing with wildlife, far off places, mountain climbing), US history as well as world history, science publications on nearly any subject and most anything that lays in front of me for long. When I'm not reading I enjoy yard work, hiking, going for long walks, skiing, snow shoeing, bicycling, most anything outdoors.
