My mom's family could keep secrets, but they were amateurs compared to dad's. Dad's family were expert level. They were talented at dissembling and distracting when asked about things they meant to keep hidden. I was quite young when we moved to the state where dad's youngest brother lived with his wife, their ten-year-old son and their newborn son. Not two years later, my Aunt and youngest cousin were dead, my Uncle found his way of life was alcohol-bound, and my other cousin was nowhere to be found. My uncle eventually found his way, remarried, and had a good career. For years I tried to learn what happened. My parents seemed to not share my interest in locating my long-lost cousin. When my dad passed, I learned many things I had not known about him. Some of his secrets were finally out. I expected to learn more about my uncle after he passed. It was not to be. He opted for no services. Those secrets remain secrets.

All my novels comes from people, places and things encountered in my years working for the Forest Service, especially my time studying law enforcement. I'll usually take a seed of truth and build a novel around it.
