Knowledge Areas

     My knowledgeable areas, experience, interests, things that I have done, past and present, are:

• writer
• lifeguard, swim instruction
• mystic
• meditation
• science enthusiast
• alternative energy enthusiast
• home handyman
• backyard mechanic
• bardic stories
• myths and legends
• medieval recreation
• sword fighting
• craft work, metal, leather and wood work.

     On a personal note - Gandalf taught me how to be a spirit wrapped in flesh. Aragorn taught me how to be a man. Frodo taught me of perseverance and Samwise of loyalty. I owe much to J.R. Tolkin and others like Homer, innumerable books on mythology, Frank Herbert, H.G. Wells and the list goes on. They, through their works, taught me how to live. Along the way I learned of the power of the written word, the gift it could give by slipping past our defenses to show us the best and the worst in ourselves. These revaluations have lead me to become a writer.

     But back to who I am. I have worked various positions and am a husband, mystic, science enthusiast, home handyman, backyard mechanic, and writer. Like most of us, the face I wear changes with the company and the season. My three cats know me as pride alpha, I like to think so, though servant is probably more accurate. Who am I kidding, my wife runs the pride, I just try and stay out of her way.

     At any rate, I am a man of middle years who lives in a house in Ontario, Canada with three cats, a wife and a sincere hope that you will buy and enjoy my books.

     On this site, in addition to information about my books and how I view writing, I'll be discussing science, and Pagan metaphysics and philosophy. I have a links page for you to browse. The links are to some of the authors I've met at conventions, most are new authors like me, interviews, and what happens at conventions, a few photos included. The links page also gives my book signing schedule.

     Thank you for dropping by. Please browse around and check back again, as I'll be adding more as time goes by.
