Welcome to my website, and thanks for stopping by. Set down your backpack or bag, grab a snack or two, and stay awhile.

I am a lifetime writer. Before I could read, I combined the letters I knew and threw in a few pictures. Not very inspiring, but I did my best. I'm still doing my best, writing almost full time since early retirement. I've seen publication of many articles, book reviews, devotionals and nonfiction and fiction short stories.

My first book, Green Light Red Light, published November 2007. You'll experience China through sometimes hilarious, always fascinating real-life events with Monica Moore and 16-year-old Erika Slade. See the Synopsis on the books page.

Motocross Mania has been in progress since 1997! You'll ride with my grandson Josh, star of the book, from his first race to the checkered flag. He's 20 now and he no longer races, but I have some awesome interviews and information re: Motocross 2009. I might even write a feature about you! The blog comments are always open for your questions or suggestions.

I'm a retired teacher, and I'd love to be a speaker for your event. As any former teacher would say, "Give me 30 minutes head start and I'll speak on whatever subject you specify." Just joking, but seriously, I've had a lifetime of speaking experience on many subjects.

Email me for a brochure using the contact form below. Be sure to include your mailing address if you are asking that I send you something. Thank you!
