He attended Ohio State University, San Jose State University and the University of Denver. He was a management and business consultant, director of a college library and a college professor in California before deciding to become a full-time novelist and short-story writer.

His science fiction novel, Space Dream One: That Others May Live is due to be published as an eBook by the end of November 2011. It’s a very long novel, over 700 pages, and is really two books in one—a mystery-adventure novel on earth and a science fiction-adventure novel in another galaxy. The parallel stories intertwine throughout the novel and add a double layer of suspense and mystery for the reader.

The second book in this trilogy Space Dream Two: A Nat-Sat Legacy is similar in length and format, two books in one, and is written and in a second draft mode but still needs serious editing. It will be published in October 2012.

His next science fiction series, Zorkon’s Secret: The Search for the Conundrums, will be published immediately after Space Dream Three is published in 2013.

Besides his science fiction novels, he has published a well-received collection of 25 short storiesy for the Christmas season. Merry Christmas Stories will make the reader laugh, smile and just feel good about that magical time of year. These stories are written in various genres and even includes a Christmas science fiction story.

His series of western novels, the Hunt series, published by Avalon Press, includes Hunt the Hunter and The Hunted Return (to be published in July 2012). He is currently working on the third novel in the series, Hunt for a Bride.

His contemporary novel I Dream of a Rainbow will be completed in early 2012. It’s the story of an Afghanistan veteran who loses everything in one day and proceeds to gather up four of his lost and hurting veteran friends. He opens a creative art center and tries to reclaim all their lives.

He enjoys writing in three genres, and is often asked if it is hard to switch back and forth among them. Actually, he finds it very refreshing except (like right now) when he had to do the final edit on his science fiction novel while still working on his contemporary novel and do this biography. But, normally, by the time he's finished one book, he's ready to switch genres and work on another.

When the author isn’t dashing off to other galaxies, he can be found in Visalia, California writing his novels. He lives in a house with more than 10,000 books, six computers, and more stuff animals and silk flowers than any reasonable adult should have but it’s just right for him. He listens to smooth jazz, paints in a north facing sunroom that brightens his soul and always tries to remember to let the little child in him have time to come out and play.
