Biography
I currently reside in Florida, this being the last place I visited in my travels 50 years ago. When I was younger, our family traveled following my father, who served in the military and went where he was assigned. This was life until I was four years old, by that time we had settled in Wisconsin. There I stayed until I was seventeen and footloose, bound to take off on my own. Life placed certain events before me, I went where they led. Which is how I ended in the state where I now live. I've been here so long it's home. I am no longer footloose with a desire to move again. Snow has lost any appeal it may have had.
Currently retired, my previous career was as a mechanical designer. I presently enjoy fishing, on occasion, scrimshaw, some attempts at watercolor painting and hobby machine work. Writing will interfere with these endeavors, especially when I feel an obligation to my characters. An idea will come and I'll feel motivated to develop it, following through to a finish.
My wife is partially responsible for this, as she remembers when our children were young and at home. I would tell them tales and stories from an over active imagination. She was the one to encourage me to put some of them 'to paper'. Therefore, the things I write are just an extension of that imagination, taken in their own direction. Writing gives an outlet for the characters who have always resided with me. They relate the stories, I 'scribble' them down. I do this first, for my enjoyment, then for those who may read them. Please enjoy reading.

The Last Praetorian

The story line and character development were very good. I enjoyed the reading. That being said this book was in need of a good proofreading. Improperly used words possible misspellings and repetition of the same word, where a good thesaurus would have provided another, in a short sequence all detracted from the overall reading. Even so, I did enjoy it.
