After an adventurous life in the Marine Corps, the GI Bill helped me earn a BA in Creative Writing (specializing in Literary Fiction) from the University of Arizona. I deliberately don't write about myself; however, what I am and what I've done has undoubtedly, although unintentionally, colored my narratives. I create a diverse cast of fictional characters, put them in problematic and often dangerous situations, and let them tell me their experiences. Practicality and cussedness often trump institutionalized correctness in both their lovings and their deadly brawls. I enjoy hearing their tales, and I hope you'll enjoy reading my version of them.
